Les Lys Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay


More verve than the 06 which was also fabulous. Defaix is quickly becoming my favorite Chablis guy. This 07 is current release btw. Excellent

Salted lemon, sea spray, high acid, very fresh for 15 years old ⚡️

This is a delicious complex Chablis that is vibrant despite (or perhaps due to) being released 14 years after the vintage! Golden straw colored; super fresh nose of honeysuckle and pear; melon, crisp minerality. Perhaps a touch thin compared to the other ales Lys I have tried. But great nonetheless with years to spare.

17.5 classic. Great balance and texture. M+ length. 2007 is current release. Brilliant.
