  Starts out very reduced but opens up with air. After a couple bottles that seemed more advanced I have started pouring these without decanting and it has been a better path. Not sure it matters but there you go. This bottle was slightly reductive but the color was good and mid-yellow. Dense, lots of extract. Mineral. On the dark side of Chablis, but a good bottle and good wine. Drinks well now and I would not keep much longer.

  10 years in and going strong. Slightly golden color. Dense and weighty for 2013 but the raw material is excellent. Clearly Chablis. It has that “Jolly Rancher grape” smell that I find in so many Chablis. I know, weird, but what can I say?
  Needs to be cold room temperature and a bit of air as starts slightly reduced. Oily, lemony, salted. Will it get better- I don’t know but it could be. Lots of solid structure here. I am going to drink more now but definitely decant more next time.

  Un nez vraiment atypique mais j'ai adoré le style.
  Très peu d'expérience avec Dauvissat alors je n'ai pas reconnu la signature.
  Melon Miel, Artichaut, le nez est ample mais très frais. En bouche l'acidité est présente mais aucune note saline ou crayeuse. C'est long et complexe, j'hésite entre Chenin Blanc de la Loire ou un Chardonnay Bouguignon mais pratique impossible de dire sa provenance. Très surpris de voir Chablis lors du dévoilement. J'ai bien aimé mais c'est en effet atypique pour l'appellation.

  Light golden colour. Quite ripe for a Chablis, with notes of peach, lemon and oyster. Decanted half and left half in the bottle and the decanted portion was lightyears ahead of the other portion. Decant this for 2 hours at least.

  Drinking very well now, and isn’t on the way down either. This took some time to open up properly, and while it is a little inflicted by botrytis, and is a little ripe, it delivers all the key elements of a Dauvissat. The level on it is definitely above your average village, but it isn’t textbook Chablis to me. I wish I had more, but alas.
  
  Drink them if you have them, it’s peaking.
