2005 Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Les Lys

Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 93 points.  Dramatic aromas of blanched almonds, beeswax, honey and preserved lemon introduce the 2005 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys, a full-bodied, textural wine that's rich, concentrated and structured, with a tight-knit core, tangy acids and a stony finish. Like Defaix's other 2005s, it's very much in its prime and will be well worth seeking out when it reaches the marketplace. Drink Date: 2018-2028 (8/31/18)
