2015 Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru "Les Lys"

This was such a treat to taste along with the 2015 Vaillons version from Defaix. The two could not be more different. Both in ways most excellent! While the Vaillons leans toward a fuller and richer style, the Les Lys has more citrus and comes across as a bit more delicate. It starts with a pretty nose of sea salt, delicate flowers, juicy lemon. On the palate, more lemon, green apple, followed by yellow apple skin and fresh minerals. The finish lingers and dissipates elegantly and softly. I hear a seared scallop calling the name of this Chablis!
