Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix 'Les Lys' Chablis 1er Cru, 2015 asian whiskey showing red-fruit intensityThe vines here are from southeast facing slopes in a section of Les Lys known as Clos du Roi (effectively a monopole of the Defaix estate). The Defaix domaine owns 3. 5 hectares of this 5 hectare 1er Cru. The resulting wine is long lived and displays remarkable finesse and length, a classic Chablis. One often encounters the flavors and aromas of bergamot, acacia and honey in the Les Lys alongside a compelling freshness, a wine of excellent tension.
