Tasting notes
The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys is also especially good this year, delivering aromas of white flowers, citrus oil, freshly baked bread and bee pollen. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a fleshy core of fruit and racy girdling acids, this cool, marl-rich site has evidently excelled in 2020.

The 2020 Chablis Les Lys 1er Cru comes from a single hectare within Vaillons, bottled separately since 1998; the northeast-facing vines engender higher acidity. The bouquet is cool and refined, offering orchard fruit, orange blossom and a touch of peach that develops in the glass. The palate is well balanced with more concentration than the Vaillons and certainly more depth on the finish. Very fine.
