WINE DESCRIPTION
The Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Premier Cru 'Les Lys' is a classic French white wine made with Chardonnay grapes grown in the premier cru vineyard of Les Lys in Chablis. The wine has a medium body, with a crispness and acidity that make it an ideal accompaniment to white fish and light, summer meals. The nose is intense and focused, with a mix of citrus fruits, white flowers, and a hint of gun-flint minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a velvety texture, and notes of green apple, honey, and a hint of toasted almond. The finish is long and lingering, with a bright, refreshingly tart finish. Enjoy this classic Chablis with light and fresh fish dishes, or with a summer salad.
