  February 15, 2024 - In perfect condition, and I know this is too often not the case. This bottle was gorgeous. Bright aromas of seashell, iodine, and green apple, very fresh and complex on the nose, and completely harmonious. Th nose alone is worth the price of admission here. Lovely too on the palate, which is quite narrow in shape and light in body, but with plenty of density, power, and length to the flavors. This is what I am hoping for when I have the chance to drink a Dauvissat Forest with some bottle age. It was ready to drink immediately upon opening, did gain in the glass for maybe and hour, by two hours open staring to fade a bit.

  August 3, 2023 - Pale straw color. Drank a glass plus over 2 hours. This was showing tons of oyster shell, focused lemon and lemon zest, apple blossom, dried apple, and spice. The palate is crystalline and taut, great acidity, lemon, lemon peel, oyster shell, cool limestone inerality, a touch of tarragon, with a load of dry extract and a tangerine top note as this finsihes with vigor. Loved it.

  June 5, 2023 - Shared with Xavier94, this was oddly quite reductive on opening, certainly more than with a previous bottle last Spring. It slowly opened up and started to sing after an hour; much better on Day 2! 93+

  June 5, 2023 - Guessed this particular bottle to be some sort of Chablis from the early 2020's!! Wow, this drinks young with lemon citrus and good dose of reduction/sulphur scents at first, giving way to more floral, tons of minerality both on the nose and palate with some leesy complexity taking form with air time and warming up in the glass. Shows real texture in th mouth and I put this at medium+ in body. No real visible new oak signature intact. Another bottle had shown more Chablis magic with better clarity and focus but maybe it's just a matter of breathing? No rush. Give this air!!

  March 11, 2023 - This is great right out of the blocks. Lemon, lime on the nose, developing after a while with a hint of tertiary development, but still relatively youthful. Palate is racy and long, with beautiful minerality, lemon and lime. This is great.
