  Really nice understated nose with a saline, creamy hue and lemon, tangerine, judicious oak and mineral tones. On the palate medium bodied, firm and relatively dense with great, balanced acidity. Quite restrained aromatically and tight even after decanting. Terrific harmony too, somewhat tense. Very youthful at this point and not all that giving but with the right pairings - especially cod - absolutely on point. Very long with a bit spicy finish. It will take quite a while for this to reach any kind of maturity.

  Had some funk upon opening that quickly blew off. Had it with only a slight chill at dinner so a quick note from memory. Nearly full bodied, tons of minerality, a kiss of oak, good acidity and impressive length. I could see it developing further but it drank really well last night!

  Nettement meilleur que la bouteille bue il y a un peu plus d’un an. Ouvert à la dernière minute, il est malgré tout très expressif après 30 minutes, sans carafe, moins réduit que plusieurs jeunes vins du domaine qui nécessitent souvent une longue aération pour les réveiller.

  Beautiful now, ripe but chiselled, clean and fresh and deep. Excellent.

  While the nose is a little more reserved than other Dauvissat Chablis’ I’ve had, the palate overcompensates with a precise and focused green apple, peach and lemon fruit profile that is memorable in its own right. Pleasant minerality and laser-like acidity with length that extends for minutes on end. Impressive.
