Lightish crimson. Fragrant, peppery, stony, dark-red fruit. This is lovely, a serious Bourgogne, firm but supple tannins, real depth. GV Drinking range: 2025 - 2030 Rating: 16.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2024)

Slightly tighter nose at this stage, in part to the more northerly provenance of the grapes, but the fruit is still very pretty and generous. Lovely refreshing on the palate acid, with good perfume on the nose. Nice firm tannins, well put together. Attractive and well-priced. L&S (Dec 2023)
Domaine Agnès, Didier & Florent Dauvissat
Domaine Agnès & Didier Dauvissat was founded in 1986, and is based in the village of Beine at the eastern end of 1er Cru Beauroy. Agnès and Didier planted all their vineyard themselves. This amounts to around 10 ha now, made up of 3.5ha of Petit Chablis, planted on hard Portlandian limestone soils full of marine fossils on the plateau above Fyé, 4.5 hectares of Chablis planted in the villages of Courgis and Fyé, on south-facing slopes which are the southerly continuation of the slope of the Grands Crus, and finally a 2 ha plot or 1er cru Beauroy which is above the lake slightly toward the eastern side of the middle of this Premier Cru, and exposed to the south-west. The vines are now reaching full maturity and producing what is obviously some very high-quality fruit.
Florent, Agnès and Didier's son, has now joined the domaine and seems to be something of a wine-making talent - as Neal Martin wrote in his 2019/2020 Chablis report 'Could Florent Dauvissat be the next great winemaker to bear that famous surname?'. The wines are made in completely classical way, in stainless steel and aged on the lees for 12 months.
