Les Lys is one of the most underrated Premier Cru sites in all of Chablis. Capable of producing some of the region’s most profound and complex wines, it has somehow remained under the radar for many enthusiasts—making the 2015 Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis all the more exciting. The nose opens beautifully with aromas of lemon peel, white flowers, crushed rock, and hints of flint. The palate delivers impressive energy and intensity, with citrus notes fanning out across the wine’s layered, complex structure. There is depth here with layer upon layer of fruit and spice seamlessly supported by vibrant acidity and lifted by captivating aromatics. A wine to love, and a remarkable opportunity to enjoy a Chablis of this caliber with over a decade of age at such an appealing price.
