 Tasted by mclanew on 4/7/2023 flawed bottle: Premox (504 views)
 Tasted by mclanew on 2/4/2023 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Lemons rind, sea shell, minerals with a little tropical accent comes through. Medium bodied but lacking a bit of verve. This good not great and needs to be drunk soon. (556 views)
 Tasted by mclanew on 11/25/2022 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Medium bodied. Nice sappy fruit with orchard and tropical accent, a bit of minerality but also exoticism. Drinking fine but a little more advanced than I would have thought. Drink up. (551 views)
 Tasted by Pknut on 3/15/2019: Some sea breeze and grapefruit pith notes, but not nearly as acidic and lacking in tension as expected from this young Dauvissat. The ‘16 Dauvissat-Camus 1er Forest that I brought to Suzanne’s a few weeks ago seemed to have more underlying acidity. This bottle suggests that this is not one for long in the cellar. Bottle 1 of 6. In the Berkshires. (1914 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 1/23/2019 & rated 91 points: SLDS January 2019: Quince, orange and white tea leaves. Delicate on the palate, with good detail and depth. Teases ripeness at the edges but it has a good mineral backbone that drives through. Youthful but very good. (1692 views)
 Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 10/27/2018 & rated 88 points: not good, not a rebuy, might be youth of the bottle but won't rebuy for sure... had with the '15 bottling too and that was the same (not good) (1535 views)
 Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 8/13/2018: NR as this was very young and hard to assess, and with the '15 and depending on the night (we had these over three nights) one would outdo the other, both wines felt a little heavy on the minerals and non-fruit side, wondering if the fruit was simply sleeping... hard to assess and not immediately compelled to go out and load up (as I did on this wine in '10 and '12)... we will see but sitting on my hands for now (1650 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 4/18/2018: Domain Vincent Dauvissat 2016 Chablis (Chablis, France): Incredibly powerful lime and minerals in a very linear package. Tons of stone and acidity. Wow, this is classic Chablis that almost hurts to taste this young. Give it at least 6 or 8 years. (2185 views)
 Tasted by Harley1199 on 8/30/2017: Flying l'Yonne; 8/29/2017-9/1/2017 (Irancy - France): Cigarette lighter stone, more tropical and nerve on the nose with a very long acidity on the palate. Also something metallic. It's the first time I taste it, because it is very rare to find al least in Spain, and does not tell me too much. I really had other expectations.

Piedra de mechero, más nervio algo tropical en nariz con una muy larga acidez al paladar. También algo metálico. Es la primera vez que lo cato, por lo raro que es de encontrar, y no me dice gran cosa. Realmente tenía otras expectativas. (2006 views)

Burgundy

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."
