From their vines planted in the combe up behind Grand Cru Blanchots, in the village of Fyé. A light and precise nose, and a gracious and delicate feel. Good volume but by no means massive, the sleekness of kimmeridgian clay. Complete and with lovely length. L&S (Oct 2023)

Even more open and fragrant than the Petit Chablis. Iniviting leesy richness on the nose and palate. Deep, crisp and even with a long salty finish. VGV Drinking range: 2025 - 2032 Rating: 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2024)
The 2022 Chablis Village, matured in stainless steel for 6 to 12 months, has a sprightly and energetic bouquet with citrus peel and Granny Smiths. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, crisp malic fruit. There’s just the right amount of tension and salinity on the finish to keep you coming back for more. Bravo.

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.

20-30% Pinot Blanc in the vineyard. Long fermentation, so still half-made when we tasted. Good volume and body, it's something a little different, but very likeable. Not very deep soils - it's on pebbles.
