CAVES DEFAIX – LE MÂCHON VIGNERON

They welcome you to their 7 cellars dating from the 8th to the 12th centuries, to the Lys de Chablis (their hotel) and to the bistro Le Mâchon Vigneron, where local (and homemade) cuisine blazes. Like the escargots au chablis Defaix or the jambon braisé à la chablisienne, whose original recipe comes from the family. We also liked the piece of beef with Soumaintrain sauce from the Gillot farm.
