Saturday, July 1, 2023 - An absolutely phenomenal bottle of Dauvissat Petit Chablis 2019. Definitely outperforms and exceeds expectations, but also you get what you pay for. Yes you are paying 2.5x + more than a typical other producer's Petit Chablis, but if you are a connoisseur, this is fascinating to experience at least once and with the right food. What's interesting is that this bottle at the 4th year mark was different than a 3 year mark 2018 vintage. There was absolutely no Parmesan cheese rind profile at all. A nose of flowers, green apples, lemon, lemon pith, and sweet grapes (Muscat) also on the tongue which was fascinating (but without the actual sweetness of sugars). Best served medium to fairly chilled (more chilled if need be depending on how hot it is outside). The quality of the aromatic bitter to the nuanced bitter lemon, lemon zest, lemon pith was marvelous and masterful. Corkaged this to a classic style French bistro and enjoyed with salade Lyonnaise, duck & goat cheese rillettes, baguette with Normandy butter from France, crab & cheese souffle with whiskey sauce. If the wine is let to come up towards room temperature, more alcohol and sourness, so please keep this optimally chilled for best results and to prevent that undesired balance. Recommend not to keep any leftovers, unless you want the fruit to completely recede and you end up with more sourness, alcohol, and any mineral (though I didn't really taste much of that, surprising, assuming the grapes come from a site top of Clos...) Save your Premier and Grand Cru's for the much fancier cuisines, and pop up a Petit for elegant casual upscale fare (a fancy summer brunch always seems like a great idea).
