The almost insolent richness of this Chablis makes it an ideal wine for an aperitif, as well as an excellent companion to fish pâtés, oysters, and other seafood.  Also does well with with roasted andouillette or snails of Burgundy with Chablis and butter persillade.  Explosive mix of seashore minerality and honeyed orchard fruit; notes of lemon meringue, peanut shell, and créme brulée.

Les Lys, or “the Lilies”, is a Premier Cru that was once owned by the French monarchy.  It is situated at the northeast end of the Vaillons Premier Cru, southwest of the town of Chablis, on the side of a hill.

100% Chardonnay.

Grapes are pressed, followed by alcoholic fermentation using natural yeasts at a temperature of 18°C for 3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation is 100% achieved. Stirring of fine lees each month for 18 months in order to concentrate the aromas, giving the wine fullness and enzymic qualities for a long aging.
