Colour White
Origin France, Burgundy
District Chablis
Classification Grand Cru
ABV 13%
Vineyard Les Preuses

Quite tight and closed when we tasted. With bit of time in the glass, notes of Amalfi lemon, crushed rocks, oyster shell and orchard fruits. Good levels of ripeness and amazing energy. Electric-like acidity but all so well balanced. This deserves at least 10+ years of cellaring. L&S (Dec 2024)

(from a .70 ha parcel planted in 1970). There is a fascinating hint of crushed fresh tarragon that I sometimes get in a classic Preuses along with hints of anise, petrol, white orchard fruit and a broad array of citrus elements. There is more volume still to the rich, enveloping and highly seductive medium-bodied flavors that display focused power on the equally impeccably well-balanced finale. This is Zen-like in its sense of harmony and a wine that should amply repay 10 to 12 years of cellaring. Drinking range: 2033 - Rating: 92-95 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2024)

Pale colour with a green tint. Backward with real tension to the white fruit. Layers of dramatic fruit, with some exuberance, some fresh herbs, then a broad soft but joyful white fruit all the way through. Hot stones! Drinking range: 2030 - 2040 Rating: ***** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Jun 2023)

Domaine Vincent Dauvissat

A domaine of 12.7 hectares, comprising a hectare each of the Grands Crus Clos and Preuses, 3.7ha of Premier Cru Forest, 1.3ha of Vaillons, 0.4ha of Séchet, .3ha of Montée de Tonnerre, 3.3ha of Chablis, 1.1ha of Petit Chablis, and .6ha of Irancy (red).

Vincent Dauvissat remains one of the (if not the) leading lights of Chablis, and his wines are always in high demand and limited volume.

Vincent's grandfather Robert was the first to start bottling under the family name in 1931 and Vincent uses the same cellar today - but the family have been growing grapes here since the 18th century. Today his single-minded determination in the vineyard, where he follows biodynamic principles (without certification) followed by very subtle use of old oak barrels as part of a long élevage, produce some of Chablis' most age-worthy and fascinating wines.

Vincent advises drinking the Grands Crus either young, (within the first three years) or after 10 years when they are becoming fully evolved. Serve at 13C, so that the wine will warm up to about 15C before tasting - any colder masks the subtleties. He prefers to serve the wine directly in glasses rather than decanting it, so as not to miss the first nose and its evolution - with an old wine he advises simply smelling this evolution over the first half an hour before tasting.
