 Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 1/1/2021: Fresh and invigorating with piercing acidity, loads of citrus and saline minerality. (1114 views)
 Tasted by swyang on 4/22/2019: Simply marvelous. Bright, honey, saline, iodine, flowers all wrapping your palate and inviting to dance with it and you oblige with a smile. Transparent yet complex, lingering for so long, on your palate and in your soul. Cheers, (1142 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 3/23/2019: Tasted over 6 hours
-translucent light-med gold
-some reduction, ripe apple, opens up as it warms to room temperature
-med/med+ acidity, med/med- weight intensely sappy mineral and dense yet faded and somewhat unidimensional ripe apple and citrus fruit, good length
-this last bottle is still in fantastic shape barely losing any of the blazing intensity it had in its youth even as the fruit evolved from citrus to apple as wines from this Domaine seem to do with maturity (1082 views)
 Tasted by swyang on 12/5/2018: Transparent gold, Splendid acidity and very very long backend. Iode, slightly saline, and super dry mineral. Not so much flowers nor honey, but I much prefer that way for a Chablis. Wow this could be a Sabre from a top Samuraï... if one can get what I mean. (1124 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 8/7/2016: Tasted over 2 hrs
-translucent med gold
-subtle ripe honeyed sweet lemon slight lanolin
-med+/higher acidity balances well with searing minerality and markedly sappy extract, med weight ripe apple almost apple cider little bit of lemon pith
-this bottle drinking beautifully now and probably at peak without any excessive oxidation for its age, showing some maturity but retains all of its energy, very '07 and very Dauvissat, easily has 1er cru class and intensity (2118 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 2/5/2016: Light to medium yellow. All musky mollusk and sea spray. Excellent glycerine feel, some inner mouth florality, ripe lemon, superb stone. Well above its class and lasting very well for village Chablis. (1935 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 1/24/2016: Med gold, no oxidative notes, still with bracing acidity with fading sweet lemon and persistent finish. Drinking very well now and many good years ahead for bottles not perm-ox'd. (1590 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 7/15/2015: PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs
-translucent med gold actually becomes lighter/paler over 2 hrs
-reticent, sulfur slightly advanced nose
-med+ acidity, some mature elements peeking in trace lemon initial slight oxidative note dissipates over 2 hrs
-still structured, fruit fading, mature; seemed a bit oxidized initially but righted itself with some air (1807 views)
 Tasted by jimmythesaint on 3/7/2015: Not sure if in an odd stage or flawed. Just a little funk leaning toward a corked bottle, sulfur issue or something just aint right. (1838 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 3/5/2015 & rated 87 points: Just enough pre mox creeping in to knock this down a big notch. Not enough to dump or return. Too bad as there was otherwise normal Chablis typicity. (1604 views)
 Tasted by tooch on 1/3/2015 & rated 93 points: Holiday Dinner at Nathan's (Nathan's House - Chicago, IL): Baseline chablis my arse! Like drinking seawater, this was gritty and fresh with lots of cool fruit. This still had some of the good freshness they can have upon release, but this had some of the fun secondary oceanic tones that some of their 1ers and GCs get with more time. You're a clown if you're not cellaring these. (2285 views)
 Tasted by JOsgood on 12/24/2014: Classic Chablis. Lean and dry with tons of salinity. Raw rocks. (1264 views)
 Tasted by Pknut on 10/1/2014: I'm hoping that this was an off bottle. While it wasn't oxidized, it was flat. It showed that "old wood" and hazelnut that is very Dauvissat, but there was a hole in the midpalate and the wine didn't seem very together. (1306 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 9/12/2014: PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs
-translucent light/med gold
-some initial reduction funk, slight lemon
-bracing acidity, quite sappy and almost creamy textured mid-palate with an essence of lemon, intense piercing finish with moderate length
-nearly explosive energy and tension, on the citrus side of classic Chablis, only a lack of complexity belies this is a humble Villages, baby fat has melted away and on a beautiful drinking plateau now (1018 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 3/29/2014 & rated 89 points: its a nice $25ish Chablis that I paid $32 for. I like Dauvissat but it's pricey now. Once was a decent value. Bet this blt is now $40 on release. (1631 views)
 Tasted by VHJV on 9/8/2013 & rated 90 points: In fine condition. Fresh and pure, a classic Chablis. (1818 views)
 Tasted by mdonovan on 7/12/2013 & rated 86 points: Couleur jaune moyen, nez et bouche comportant des aromes de citron, bouche minérale
un vin agréable mais simple (1376 views)
 Tasted by Pknut on 6/21/2013: As Deb has taken a recent liking to the 2008 version of this wine, we've been drinking that one frequently, and it seems ready to go. The '07 is far more serious and multi-faceted. Initial notes of matchstick that stay with this wine over the course of a few hours, along with more noticeable dry extract, much more tangibly so than in the '08. Lemon-tinged palate, showing great energy and cut. So much better than the '08 right now. With air, some saline, minerals, really deft and proportioned, with a very long finish that gives impression of freshness, clarity, minerally, almost wintergreen cleanness. Just wow. (1449 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 5/11/2013: Pale with green glint. Unmistakably "fishy", iodine Chablis aromas. Light, unerringly dry, chalky, excellent acidity and underripe lemon tartness. After an hour, some floral aromas rise out of the glass. Surprisingly young and classic, with a style and weight that bring to mind the way 2004s are structured. No rush. (1488 views)
 Tasted by bkizzle on 8/4/2012 & rated 89 points: Bracing acidity that will pair well with just about anything. Wonderful citrus nose. Some in tropical spectrum. Long defined finish. (1850 views)
 Tasted by yannhry on 7/14/2012 & rated 89 points: Coquilles d'huître, une acidité salivante qui appelle à se resservir.
Très bien. (1402 views)
 Tasted by acidqueen on 7/1/2012 & rated 89 points: have drunk 3 bottles of this over the past few months, as it is really coming into a great place for enjoying now. The wine has shed all the tightness, and is much rounder and drinkable without having lost the acid and fruit. Floral, mineral, peachy, perhaps a touch of oak but not overwhelming. this has now become my top end "house" white for the next year or so. (1523 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 6/8/2012: Light yellow. All salinity and oyster shell. Light but more than enough fruit to balance. Very good. (1389 views)
 Tasted by Pknut on 4/25/2012: Good showing. Clear on the palate with tinges of a tan hue and light lemon. One can tell that this has seen some wood, but the influence is light and the wood has integrated well. No hard edges, there is a savory, more sour than sweet component, good underlying tension and impressive grip. Drinking well now. (1468 views)
 Tasted by silton on 3/25/2012 flawed bottle: Corked. (1222 views)

Burgundy

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."
