2011 Chablis, 1er Cru Cote de Lechet, Domaine Daniel Etienne Defaix

Premier Cru Côte de Léchet was planted by monks and was considered to be a Grand Cru in the middle ages. It is planted on a steep, southeast-facing slope that catches the morning sun. Wet limestone and lemon curd on the nose, with subtle flinty notes. The palate walks a tightrope of taut acidity, still lively and holding plenty of primary fruit. A marmalade character adds flesh to the finish, which is wonderfully long and infused with minerals. Drink 2020-2030
