| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 117 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by pbaek on 3/3/2024 flawed bottle: Golden color. Badly oxidized, apple juice, sherry notes. Strange as the Vaillons and Sechet are completely fresh and vibrant. Chablis tasting with CG/Hasse/Finn. (228 views) | | | Tasted by portman63 on 6/2/2023 & rated 92 points: Drank with three type of west coast oysters; still has a golden color and not showing too much more age than seven years ago, but has more body in the mid-palate and finish now. Still has solid white flesh fruit, but much of the beauty is in the shells and minerals that linger. A lovely 1er cru. (558 views) | | | Tasted by Musigny1955 on 7/30/2022 & rated 94 points: Bought on release, perfect fill. Spectacular for a 1er cru with 16 years on it. Huge palate presence but still has zingy Chablis liveliness, really really long. Amazing. Looking at my notes, may be best bottle i've had to date. Have to shake my head in wonder! (1094 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 6/10/2022 & rated 90 points: Ripe rich fruit from a warm vintage, some saline notes, nevertheless missing tension, but not bad, to be finished up. (965 views) | | | Tasted by jbaron on 6/1/2022: Opened slightly over the hill and progressed somewhat quickly to more over the hill. Hmm. (953 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 1/21/2022 & rated 91 points: Light yellow with green reflections, a perfectly non oxidized bottle in line with the hot vintage: ripe fruit, mainly orange, iodine, good length. A wine to be finished within the next 2-3 years. (1174 views) | | | Tasted by Musigny1955 on 11/1/2021 & rated 93 points: {3 or 4 cases bought on release; about 8 or 10 left} Complex, rich flavors without the keen, knife-like acidity of a young Chablis but still has edge. The depth and complexity of this 15-year old wine is a revelation, since so many of us are drinking our premier cru Chablis early to avoid the disappointments of premature oxidation (premox). If your bottles are well stored I think this wine will go another 5 years. [Note based on 3 or 4 bottles in the last 2 months, the latest being the reported tasting date]. (1307 views) | | | Tasted by NickNYC on 10/11/2021 & rated 92 points: drunk over 3 consecutive meals, best the first one when PnP. elegant and polished, everything is in place. bright nose, saline, chalky, notes of mushrooms and ripe yellow fruit. the palate is smooth, medium body and long. good freshness. second and third meal, some bitterness appeared and grew (although not overwhelming). very good with food. (864 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 7/29/2021 & rated 87 points: More Wine, Less Delta (Osteria Langhe): Solid but showed a degree of ripeness and heaviness of the vintage that I did not love. The acidity seems to be losing its battle with ripe fruit, and I suspect the freshness is starting to give way. I would drink up. (1315 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 7/29/2021 & rated 85 points: Dinner at Osteria Langhe (Chicago, IL): So my last note on this said that this bottle didn't suffer from the vagaries of the vintage. Well today it seems like that this bottle did. A little dirty with some rot here. A slightly off nose that presented like chlorine? It didn't seem corked to me though. Fat and honeyed. I just don't get Dauvissat. (1890 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 12/30/2020 & rated 90 points: Quite a lot of honey, some citrus, rich, not my preferred vintage in Chablis. (1136 views) | | | Tasted by Julian Marshall on 9/27/2020 & rated 91 points: This was very good. Fresh aromas of lemon and stones, a very clean, precise attack with plenty of Chablis typicity, a flinty side to the lemon and apple flavours, much better for me than the 05 and thankfully, not premoxed, in itself a cause for celebration. It just lacks a little oomph and persistence to reach the next level. (1173 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 5/2/2020 & rated 90 points: Needs some minutes to breathe, mainly apple, with the aeration citrus elements come up, good effort for a 2006 Chablis. (1218 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 3/14/2020 & rated 91 points: Liked it more than the one some weeks ago: lemon and apple, pretty fresh with a correct length. Fully in its drinking window. (1105 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 2/17/2020 & rated 90 points: Needs a bit of air to breathe (1h), not showing a lot after opening, step by step the wine is getting dense, unctuous, with some lemon, ripe apple, more in a style of a warm vintage wine of Chassagne, well made for a vintage which is for me the worst in Chablis of the last 15 years. (1137 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 1/26/2020: With an hour of air this bottle really blossomed and surprised us all. A lovely bottle of Chablis, that kept improving over the hour we drank it. (1343 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 10/24/2019: Two bottles from an unopened case in storage. Both oxidized and dumped. Shame. (1388 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 6/21/2019 flawed bottle: Corked (1050 views) | | | Tasted by JonnyG on 1/31/2019 & rated 94 points: 2006 Retrospective (Central Coast, CA): Defying the odds, this bottle showed superbly at 13 years of age. It also defied expectations, insofar as maturity took this bottle closer to Beaune than Chablis. Rather than flint, steel, saline and minerality, we found a mature Burgundy of the Côte d’Or variety, with a savory, creamy texture and a hazelnut dominated palate, with touches of light citrus and marzipan. A real treat, and my white WOTN. (1547 views) | | | Tasted by jbaron on 1/1/2019 & rated 93 points: Mature and great. Or very good at least. (1272 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 12/21/2018 & rated 91 points: Lemon and exotic fruit, honey, slight petrol notes, quite large, but with a good length, a good wine for the complicated vintage. Will nevertheless finish my two remaining ones within the next months. (1130 views) | | | Tasted by derekastoria on 12/18/2018: Slightly fatter than expected from Dauvissat, could be due to the warmer vintage but no signs of too exotic fruit nor extraction. Lovely acidity. Very nice chardonnay at this level. At prime but no hurry. 15.5+/20 (1099 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 9/24/2018 & rated 90 points: Pausing for the Cause 2018 (Chicago, IL): This bottle didn't suffer from the vagaries of the vintage -- it's incredibly clean, without any undue rot. Good minerality and cut, though this is a slight bit broader than I enjoy in chablis. And my befuddlement with Dauvissat begins again... (2109 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/11/2018: Yellow. Low pitched citrus nose. Fairly big and lush for Chablis. Nice fruit, mineral elements, and soil, but the missing ingredient is acidity. That said, I do believe this resembles other rich vintage Dauvissat wines that take on more shape and structure with time. Still, I don't regret this being my last bottle of this. (1630 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 7/7/2018 & rated 91 points: Same remarks as for the last bottle: honey and lemon as main flavors. This is now really good together, quite rich, but in a very good balance. A month ago, I was in the cellar of Vincent Dauvissat to taste the 2017 from barrel and the 2016 from bottle (highlight: together with Allan Meadows) and Vincent’s remark was that his 2006 wines are now getting together. I confirm. (1034 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
