Very cool, dense and sleek. Still with fine-boned fruit counterbalanced by rather beautiful acidity and no hint of middle-aged wet-wool character. Very long. Really rather beautiful. (JR)

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.
