Method and source check
We check multiple rating platforms for every wine where accessible: Vivino, Wine-Searcher, Wine Spectator, Decanter, James Suckling, Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Only verified scores matching the offered vintage or NV are shown and included.
2 exact platform scores are weighted equally, regardless of their attached rating counts. Native 99- and 100-point scales are normalized from 50→1 to their own maximum→5 (99→5 or 100→5); display and filtering use one decimal. Aggregator and critic-platform scores can partly overlap.

Description
Daniel-Étienne Defaix Chablis Premier Cru Les Lys 2016 is a refined, long-aged Chablis made from 100% Chardonnay. The old vines grow on limestone- and marl-rich soils with a favourable southeast exposure. After fermentation, the wine receives an exceptional amount of time on its fine lees and in tank before release.
The nose opens with candied citrus, ripe apple and pear, followed by toasted nuts, beeswax, hay and dried fruit. The palate is delicate yet powerful, with a satiny texture, pronounced minerality, fresh acidity and a long, gently spicy finish.
