  2023 New Years Eve: The nose is texbook chablis with minerality and salinity. The palate is fruitier than a typical chablis, with canteloupe and peach.

  New Years Eve (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): A little flat out of the gate, slate, fennel, sublte citrus, more round than i would have expected, bigger and a bit creamy, apple, rather modest shellfish character. This didn't have the typicity I'd expect, especially from Dauvissat. This may simply be a vintage thing or maybe it is a finction of age as well, but i would not hold these. 88+ to 89pts.

  2023 New Years Eve Celebration! (Kevin's House): Background: I went to Burgundy for my first time, and was lucky enough to get to do a tasting at Dauvissat! Of course, I have only had Dauvissat wines a little more than a handful of times, but have always been impressed with them! While there, I tasted a 2022 Petite Chablis and was floored by how good it was (relative my low expectations.....after all it was just a Petit Chablis!) After the tasting, he was kind enough to let me purchase the last few bottles of the 2018 Petit Chablis (the only wine hadn't yet sold). I must say, I wish I could have bought even more! This is the best QPR wine I have ever purchased (17 Euros--around $20 per bottle!)
  
  OK....even though I was super excited to share this wine (after all, isn't that what wine is for....to share!), I was equally anxious to taste the 2018! Needless to say, it did not disappoint.
  
  Nose showed classic Chablis with some stoney minerality, some steely brine, and some hints of citrus. The palate was well rounded with plenty of pear, some citrus (think lemon pith) and classic limestone. This wine lacks the acidity for long term aging, but is quite delicious now and should hold here for a while...however, I would drink it in the near term. Easy 92 for me, and very happy with my purchase! Worth way more than $20 I paid, but I would be hard pressed to pay the $90 the secondary market is commanding. In my opinion, it is drinking as good or better than many $50-60 Chardonnays.

  Fuees Dinner (DJCV as host) (Brooklyn, NY): Very delicious for a petit Chablis. 18 is a wonderful vintage for Chablis in my opinion; the heat and ripeness seems to have made these wines less austere. Still fresh and mineral, but not totally acid driven which I really appreciate. Very yummy.

  Solid and notably balanced. Everything in the right place, if just a bit less exciting than last year. I’m drinking mine in the nearer term.
