Chablis 1er Cru "Les Lys"

The “Les Lys” Premier Cru Climat is located on the left bank of the Serein river, overlooking the villages of Chablis and Milly.
Our plot is located mid-slope, at the heart of the appellation. Its atypical east-northeastern exposure plays an important role in the expression of this wine. This is a cool area where the grapes ripen gradually and slowly, yielding vivacious wines abounding with finesse.

Tasting

Delicate nose featuring aromas of white flowers and citrus fruit. Elegant, chiseled palate with a slight iodine profile that is typical of the appellation. Long finish with a hint of tang that makes for a lovely, bright wine.
