| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.3 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 51 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by NostraBacchus on 3/29/2024 & rated 93 points: Needs a few moments to open up in the glass. Then explosive with notes of white flowers, ripe pear, some citrus, sweet spices, oystershell minerality, also some hazelnut. Pretty full-bodied, with medium+ acidity that is sneaking up on you.. Very long finish. A very pretty Chablis from this great producer. (93+) (1678 views) | | | Tasted by EMAZurich on 3/29/2024 & rated 94 points: Sehr helles Strohgelb, leicht grünliche Reflexe. Superelegante Nase, Kamillenblüte, Zitronenzeste, Schiesspulver, nasser Stein, auch eine leichte Honignote, ganz toll!
Am Gaumen grossartige Balance, trotz des eher warmen Jahrgangs. Sehr frische Säure, hier eher Apfel in der Frucht, wunderschöne Länge. So geht Chablis! (1428 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 3/22/2024: Another delicious bottle of this. Lovely yellow fruits, quite floral nose, medium bodied, there’s ripeness but nothing out of place. Fresh and ready to go. (1630 views) | | | Tasted by TTotal on 3/2/2024 & rated 91 points: Chablis but not as we know it. Acidity and phenolics have held up but presents broad and blouse. Lacking the racy nerve of classic Chablis, but still a well made and delicious wine. Just not the wine that was expected. (1829 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 2/29/2024 & rated 94 points: Beautiful showing. Light gold color. Crystallized ginger, candied lemon and coconut creme on the nose. Unctuous palate yet light on its feet - candied hazelnut, saline and seashells.. Lovely (1824 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 2/14/2024 & rated 89 points: Pour le prix, je l'ai trouvé un peu simple et
timide en ce moment.
Bouteille atypique probabloement? (2088 views) | | | Tasted by wgmccallum on 1/30/2024 & rated 93 points: Medium yellow with hints of gold. Aromas of tangerine, yellow peach, acacia flowers, hazelnuts, oyster shell, sourdough crust, a touch of vanillin oak. Penetrating fruit on the palate with medium plus body, round mouth feel, medium plus acids, medium alcohol (13%), very long finish. Showing some mellow nutty age, beautifully balanced. (1629 views) | | | Tasted by viniferatu on 12/5/2023: this was slightly corked, but it was clear that there was a very special wine underneath the taint, aromas of apple, flowers, bee pollen and seabreeze made it through, and the palate was rich an resonant... but it was corked :( (2786 views) | | | Tasted by kakpoo on 8/6/2023: 2018 Dauvissat Family Chablis Tasting (Seattle): Nose: Riper fruit than in Vincent's Vallions, with tart to ripe pineapple, Ripe honeycrisp apple and ginger. This La Forest may have had more muddled aromas and flavors for my palate to specifically identify but the sum of those muddled parts was fantastic. On the palate, this wine is rich and intense with a slightly higher tension than the Vincent Vaillons. (3500 views) | | | Tasted by Peter Spijker on 6/12/2023 & rated 93 points: This was already open (although I significantly preferred it after two hours or so), and showed apple, lemon sea shell, salinity, everything one looks for in Chablis. (3808 views) | | | Tasted by YagerWine on 5/22/2023 & rated 89 points: Not the best showing for this wine. Brought to dinner to drink with omakase sushi and it was completely outclassed by the 2002 Bollinger RD I opened as well. I was hoping it would be a flamboyant wine given vintage (I’ve enjoyed the 15) but it was a bit quiet and linear. Not bad, just a bit boring. I expect more from Dauvissat. (3939 views) | | | Tasted by ccn on 3/4/2023 & rated 92 points: Intensely concentrated and highly saline. Not giving much away yet but good with food. (4104 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 12/20/2022 & rated 93 points: Nother lovely Dauvissat Forest with all the refinement, lift, mineral, seashore & class you count on from the producer. Too bad the prices have ramped up much! 93+ Great btl to celebrate Nita's 67th. Hail my Winter Solstice love! (4182 views) | | | Tasted by François1986 on 12/18/2022 & rated 92 points: Robe jaune citron d'intensité moyennement pâle -
Nez ouvert très reconnaissable du domaine: ''croute de fromage'', ''vaseux'', citron, coquille huitre.
La bouche est au niveau de ce qu'on espère avec grande tension, vivacité, fraîcheur mais aussi de la concentration et de la longueur.
Une très belle bouteille qui était déjà prête à boire selon mon gout. (3500 views) | | | Tasted by Charlie Carnes on 12/5/2022 & rated 93 points: I see some hesitation in some notes… I thought it was pretty good. I drank it over a few days, so it had plenty of time to unfurl. It was crisp, sure, yes rich (not too much so), and tasty, with lemon, stones, sap, lichen/moss. I really liked it. (3434 views) | | | Tasted by lovanc@outlook.com on 10/6/2022: Delicious flinty wine with high acid but enough citrus and apple fruit flavors to make this very food friendly. (1494 views) | | | Tasted by viniferatu on 10/2/2022: beautiful stuff, rich and textured as Chablis goes, but this is not showing like it's from a very hot vintage, rather it is quite classic and fresh, not ready but might get there in a few years, more likely 5+ (4023 views) | | | Tasted by VincentMorey on 9/6/2022: Similar notes to my 12/30/2021 tasting. This time, I double decanted and swirled in the decanter for a minute before pouring it back into the bottle, back in the fridge, and taken to the restaurant. May have missed out a chance to experience its evolution, from the initial cheese rind and almond paste aromas straight from the bottle with sharp tartness and acidity. Once it was taken to the restaurant and poured in the glass it only took 10 mins for it to open up. Intense elegance and smoothness. The acidity/tartness faded quickly and surprisingly more oak notes came out....depending on the food you eat with, it may force some of that vanilla butter / pastry cream profile to come forward in an interesting way. With lighter fare and during a blazing hot Labor Day Weekend, this was not just refreshing, but also super enjoyable just to sip on its own. I wouldn't pair this with richer flavored foods much. Simply boiled / chilled shrimp was a great pairing, as was bluefin fatty tuna in soy sauce, raw squid, raw sea urchin as a creamy texture enhancer on dishes, and a yuzu miso marinated grilled fish that was on the lighter profile. For those expecting something classical, and want it to pair better with stronger flavored food, should either not decant this at all, and serve very lightly chilled. It could be bottle variation. Unfortunately I don't have another one from a different source to compare. But now with prices hitting $170++ for this bottle/vintage I'm not inclined to restock this one lol. (3475 views) | | | Tasted by ash_then_chase on 8/18/2022 & rated 94 points: Crisp, clean, and cool — the 3 Cs of the best of Chardonnay. Acidity throughout the palate, a hint of bite at the end (powerful notes of citrus zest), all-around salivatingly good — damn good. Honey and wax notes swaying in and out, though what is most captivating about this wine is the presence of the sea. A very intriguing umami of sorts, and sips that have only accelerated in complexity as the decanter sits on ice. In the glass, a touch more yellow than pale, almost golden. Cold butter — land o’ lakes before the logo change. Served single blind. @ Frank’s Wine Bar (3341 views) | | | Tasted by Joe Gabagool on 8/5/2022: I too was surprised that this was a more classical style given the warm of the vintage. It's solid. Day 1 the alcohol was much more pronounced. I'm not saying it was warm or hot on the finish but I could feel a little something.
Day 4
Alcohol much less noticeable if at all. Not flabby not vibrant. Yeah, maybe flabby a bit. The fruit is more vibrant on the palate. More straight forward fruit aromas of melon for sure! Honeydew much more so than cantaloupe. Yup, that's it. (3291 views) | | | Tasted by dearth on 7/22/2022 & rated 90 points: Transparent golden. Really good nose of butterscotch, melon (cantaloupe?), yellow pear, vanilla, i.e. some oak but not prominent. Fresh taste of too young but already good Chablis alongside food. Give it some fatty cheese and a couple of hours, and you have a fine white. Give it five to ten more years, and you have a great one. (3265 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 7/7/2022: This was excellent; the nose was more classic than expected given the heat; certainly some ripe orchard fruits and maybe the apple leans more towards honeycrisp than granny smith, but there is still the sea breeze and oyster shell notes in plenty; the palate is ripe and delicious with plenty of energy and vibrancy. Delicious stuff. Not sure how it will age given the ripeness, but it's quite good now. (2868 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 6/25/2022 & rated 92 points: Electric, dense with almost too much minerality. If you like Chablis this is very classic. 92-93 (2614 views) | | | Tasted by Mario17 on 6/24/2022 & rated 91 points: Typé Chablis, minéral et salin au nez comme en bouche, belle tension avec une certaine finesse et fraîcheur, très bon. 91-92
Very typical Chablis, minerality and saline at the same time, nice tension, freshness, energy, very good. (1612 views) | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 6/24/2022 & rated 90 points: expected more from the producer. Good attack but lacked length and character. Had many chablis village better than this one (2961 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

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."
