The 2006 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet is a superb example of the vintage, offering up aromas of citrus oil, beeswax and oyster shell complemented by subtle hints of clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, its textural attack segues into a bright, chiseled mid-palate, concluding with a mouthwatering, intensely saline finish. More chiseled and tightly wound than its 2005 counterpart, this is a 2006 with a long future ahead of it, transcending the vintage`s limitations. - William Kelley
Chablis Cote de Lechet Daniel-Etienne Defaix 2006 exemplifies the mineral-driven character of Premier Cru Chardonnay. Originating from the esteemed Cote de Lechet vineyard, this wine showcases a crystalline structure shaped by the Kimmeridgian limestone terroir. Its palate reveals a nuanced blend of citrus and stone fruit, supported by a firm mineral backbone. Now balanced by subtle honeyed notes and extra texture from age. Daniel-Etienne Defaix is a family estate with a legacy spanning over 250 years, dedicated to traditional winemaking methods that honour the region`s distinct identity.
