It is then aged on fine lees with monthly stirring for eighteen months to build texture and complexity. Daniel-Etienne Defaix releases his wines for 10-15 years after the vintage, meaning that when many producers are releasing their 2020 wines, he is releasing his 2010 and 2012 wines. This long, undisturbed maturation preserves freshness, purity and depth in the Les Lys Premier Cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose\u003cbr\u003eExpressive fruit, floral notes and mineral tones with depth and maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate\u003cbr\u003eRich stone fruit, seashell minerality and a structured profile with floral, fruity and mineral elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Defaix family has cultivated vineyards for four centuries, stewarding 28 hectares including Premier Crus Les Lys, Vaillon and Côte de Léchet, and Grand Crus Blanchot and Grenouilles.
