| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 111 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by steko78 on 12/10/2023 & rated 94 points: Note de Chablis évolué, complexe, mousseron, fougère, notes pâtissières, minéralisé. Pas pris de notes sur la bouche mais ensemble à point et de très bon niveau. (318 views) | | | Tasted by cweiss on 9/28/2023: Orleans. In great shape and great wine. With oysters and then swordfish. (430 views) | | | Tasted by ThijsV on 9/13/2023 & rated 92 points: BYOB dinner NOTK (Rotterdam): Medium+ intensity with dried yellow apple, dried apricot, nutty, vanilla, walnuts. On the palate more honey. Medium+ acidity, long finish. 92-93, my guess is that it was even better a couple of years ago
It kept developing in the glass and over the course of the evening (627 views) | | | Tasted by R.H. on 9/12/2021: as usual some aeration helped here. as did a bit of extra chill on the bottle. floral on the noise with some riper/exotic fruit notes. broad, full mouthfeel but with time showed good stony quality. medium finish. delicious. drink now. corkage at noreetuh (1899 views) | | | Tasted by cfrances33 on 5/3/2020 & rated 92 points: Served in a Zalto Universal. Fruit / 1014 hPa
Color is a yellow golden. Fantastic nose of truffles, crimini mushrooms, kombu, and chamomile. With air, it becomes a touch more linear with some minerality, and a bit of citrus. The palate is quite similar - extremely umami driven with mushrooms and seaweed. The gains some lift over a few hours in the glass, finish is long and savory. This bottle was at peak now - no reason to continue to hold, and based on color, I don't see much upside. Delicious. (2514 views) | | | Tasted by cfk49 on 4/9/2020 & rated 91 points: The third of three bottles cellared since original release and easily the best. Chalk and apple aromas and flavors, medium-light, some sourness, extremely fresh, still. (2287 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/7/2020: La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): Very late night small glass, brief note. Still tasty, but clearly living on borrowed time. (3263 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 9/24/2019: Eclectic Older Wines from the Rare Wine Company with Mannie Berk (The Morris, San Francisco): Deep yellow. Truffled aromatics with some bitter citrus. Medium weight. Typical oyster and saline elements with outstanding acidity. As older Dauvissat wines often do, this freshened over time, but for me, it never caught up with the Raveneau example from the same vintage. (3060 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 9/9/2019 & rated 95 points: Pale greenish hue, nose of apple cider and preserved lemons. On the palate, almonds and more apple and that telltale Chablis steeliness. Mature but no oxidation. Terrific length on the finish. (1687 views) | | | Tasted by swfc on 1/5/2019 & rated 95 points: This bottle is absolutely stunning. Still really remarkably pale, with greenish tints. Still a touch of reduction on the nose initially, combined with mushrooms and lemon rind. So vivid and pure, this particular bottle is incredibly fresh still. Lovely salinity to the palate, with length and presicison. In a great place (1514 views) | | | Tasted by acidqueen on 4/7/2018 & rated 87 points: Dark gold, oxidized for sure, but still enough acid left to keep it drinkable. Almond, mushroom. We finished the bottle and actually enjoyed it, but should have been drunk several years ago. (2062 views) | | | Tasted by Dale M on 2/11/2018: My last note in 2011 indicated I should drink my last bottle in the next couple of years; I should have heeded that advice. The color looked good from the initial pour, so we were out of the woods on the pmox front, but after a few sips it just became apparent this bottle was just a little tired. Good enough to drink though, some tasty oatmeal and a certain sweetness that worked well with some smoked albacore and cheese apps. I will add though that my last glass seemed to gain a little life and the faint oxidative quality seemed to dissipate. Go figure. Still, I wish I drank this sooner. (2099 views) | | | Tasted by dream on 11/15/2017 & rated 91 points: Very good richness and acidity for the year with lots of lemon and mineral notes. Finishes rather complex and was a gorgeous match for the light lobster/fluke dish at Nomad, IB&WS Dinner. (1975 views) | | | Tasted by R.H. on 4/10/2017: decanted 45 minutes. rich golden in color. some oxidative characteristics setting in. notes of walnut/hazelnut, moderate amounts of stone fruit. more mineral than fruit driven. textured on the mid palate but not particularly round/rich. good. would drink now. (2479 views) | | | Tasted by AudunG on 12/17/2016 flawed bottle: Quite clear oxidative notes in the beginning, although drinkable. Became more oxidized and undrinkable after an hour or so. (2622 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 9/21/2016 & rated 88 points: A fine Chablis, but I suspect I would have enjoyed this as a younger wine. The nose was a little shy and a bit funky/earthy without the bright orchard, citrus and seashell Chablis notes that I enjoy. The palate was still fresh with a good balance of fruit and earth components. On the back nine. I would drink sooner than later. (2415 views) | | | Tasted by psmith on 9/21/2016 & rated 90 points: Ripe, mature butterscotch and dark citrus fruits on the nose. Much more vibrant palate, with brighter fruit character and a firm mineral quality. Ready to drink. (2394 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 9/21/2016 & rated 90 points: Dinner at The Cotton Duck (Chicago, IL): The nose is demure on this bottle, but the palate is much better. At first there's a slight bit of reduction, which eases off into some sweet stone fruit. The palate doesn't show that character, and instead you get a nice crisp minerality balanced with juicy stone fruit. On the other hand, the acidity doesn't seem to be that racy here, and this doesn't quite have that crystalline Chablis character you might want, and the inorganics seem to veer more towards dirt rather than mineral. (3148 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 9/19/2016 & rated 91 points: 12 of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, youthful colour, pure, fresh, fruit largely eaten, properly dry and mineral,fully ready. VGI (17). (1764 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 6/23/2016 flawed bottle: 11th of 12 and POXED!!!! - unusual for Dauvissat...normally VGI +/-, say 90 on 100 point scale or 17. (1912 views) | | | Tasted by acidqueen on 12/26/2015 & rated 93 points: Deep yellow color. Honey, nuts, and overall richness, but also with an acid cut and bright citrus, stone and saltiness that makes it unmistakeably Chablis. Some floral notes, especially elderflower. This was an outstanding bottle. The wine is in its prime, and no signs of fatigue at all. Glad I have two more bottles and will hold on for a couple more years. (2095 views) | | | Tasted by slanum on 4/7/2015 flawed bottle: Oxidized. (2587 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 1/14/2015 & rated 94 points: Showing great, amazing light color with no signs of age there. Heady truffley/seashell/lime/nutty nose. Clean and fresh on the palate, amazing for a 15 year old chardonnay. Ginger candy, truffle-infused lime, seawater, maitake mushroom elements. Nice. (2504 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 10/30/2014: Medium tulip yellow. All truffle honey at first, but with an hour of air, its essential Chablis iodine and oyster shell shone through. Rich entry with fruit there that is difficult to characterize; this segues into a finish that is full of crisp acidity and minerality. As it opened, it continued its transformation from a wine that could be confused with a creamy Grand Cru white Burgundy into a more and more easily recognizable Chablis. Fully mature, although much more alive than other bottles I've had over the past few years. (2531 views) | | | Tasted by locovino on 6/23/2014 & rated 91 points: La Forest always is a very nice wine. This bottle was good but could use a bit more age on it. Crystal clear pale lemon yellow in the glass. Nose of honey, melon and citrus. In the mouth well balanced with firm acidity and some mineral notes. I'll try my last bottle in ten years...

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
