DOMAINE BERNARD DEFAIX, Chablis 1Er Cru Les Lys, 75cl

🍷 Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru ‘Les Lys’
France | Burgundy | Chardonnay | White Wine
Style: Steely, Elegant & Mineral-Driven

✨ A textbook Premier Cru Chablis that captures the purity of the region—crystalline citrus fruit, layered minerality, and just enough richness to elevate its depth and charm.

👁️ In the Glass: Pale straw yellow with silvery reflections, showcasing freshness and finesse.

👃 On the Nose: Classic Chablis bouquet of lemon zest, lime blossom, and flinty minerality, lifted by a whisper of white spice.

💫 On the Palate: Bone-dry and finely etched, with bright lemon and green apple notes, a touch of honeyed depth, and a racy, saline backbone. The finish is long and complex, with a pleasing tension between richness and steeliness.

🍽️ Food Pairing: Superb with meaty white fish like halibut or monkfish, chicken in cream sauces, or shellfish dishes with a touch of butter or citrus.

⏳ Ageing Potential: Drinking beautifully now, but will evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years.

💎 Why You’ll Love It: A shining example of Chablis Premier Cru—this wine delivers vibrant energy and layered complexity, making it the perfect white for lovers of precision and purity in Chardonnay.
