Similar in a way to 2019 but more intense with a fuller body and perhaps a touch racier in acidity. Superb aromatic nose of flowers, green apples, honey, lemon, a slight pungent cheese rind that comes forth with time and topping off the glass. With food and time, more citrus pith (lemon / grapefruit), stonefruit pit, and a vegetal aromatic bitterness that comes forth. The honey profile doesn't last long. Still very vibrant and fresh and I would not have guessed this had 4 years of bottle age. Enjoy now if you want the freshness, and cellar it longer if you want a bit more complexity and balance. If anything the 2022 is somewhat close to this, but 2020 has notable pronounced acidity in comparison. Like someone already said, Dauvissat mastered the 2020 vintage if using this Chablis village as a baseline. I can't wait to experience what the 1er cru 2020s will be like when they are ready.

Lively aromas of lemon, Granny Smith apples, hay and ever present mineral lead to a broad, briny, oyster shell flavored palate carrying a long refreshing finish.

The essence of Chablis. Iodine and tidal pool on the nose. Rippin acidity, needed a decant to calm down. Citrus and a broad bench of limestone. This wine taste like rocks and crushed oysters. Who would know it was a hot vintage? Bravo Dauvissat 👏

Dense and fresh, with yellow fruits and dry extract, this is exactly what one looks for in AOC Chablis. A total beauty.

Sjø, sitron, hvite blomster, hvit frukt. Stålsyre, men balansert. Ingen eik. Sitter som støpt i munn. Vanskelig å forstå at dette er en kommunevin.
