The 2006 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet is a superb example of the vintage, offering up aromas of citrus oil, beeswax and oyster shell complemented by subtle hints of clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, its textural attack segues into a bright, chiseled mid-palate, concluding with a mouthwatering, intensely saline finish. More chiseled and tightly wound than its 2005 counterpart, this is a 2006 with a long future ahead of it, transcending the vintage's limitations. (WK) 93+

The nerviest of these three 2006 Chablis premiers crus from Defaix (tasted alongside Vaillons and Les Lys). High toned and with a lightly reductive note, a little smoky, this would make a very luxurious aperitif. I could so easily imagine it on Christmas morning with smoked salmon for those who eschew bubbles. Notes of lime and honey act as counterpoints in this 'vibrating' wine with an impressively long finish. In view of its great age it's GV. (JR)
