  Developing some of the tell tale signs of great aged Chablis on the nose, with a flinty hazelnut and honeyed note to match the freshly squeezed lemon, without a hint of oxidation. The palate comes across round to start, with that honeyed citrus quality revealing itself, before the laser beam of acid and crushed seashell takes over through the mid palate, to a long, long finish. This has held up remarkably well for a wine 15 years old. Will be seeking more of this, the "other" Dauvissat!

  Sebastien Dauvissat generously gave me this bottle as a present after my tasting with him. An incredible wine and perfect in its own way. A wonderful lemony nose combined with white flowers and liquid stones. The wine appears young with vibrant, fresh fruit with flavors of lemon juce, green fruit and a salty, flinty minerality. So soft and smooth on the palate. Wow.
