  • I loved this. It was a little less crisp and fresh than I am used to or might look for in a Chablis - especially Dauvissat - but it made up for that in richness and complexity. The prices for these things has gotten wild, but will worth what I paid for it.

  • Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of light lemon colour, with watery rims and legs.
    Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of pear, stone fruit of peach, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of roasted almond, mineral notes of saline and stony, maturity notes of honey. The wine is developing.
    Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium alcohol, medium body and medium (+) intensity flavors of citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of apple, kernel notes of roasted almond, mineral notes of stony, oak notes of toast, sweet spice of ginger. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
    Conclusion: Very good quality Chablis with an intense nose showing good complexity, the wine has good acidity but not overly so, with a richness that can make you think it is a grand cru, good in balance and exhibiting firm structure. It has good concentration in flavors with some interesting spiciness and a fairly long finish. It is ready to drink now and can keep for another 4-6 years.

  • 2003 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru Séchet, alc 13%..color is moderately yellow....nose is showing a bit of mustiness (?oxidation)...palate is "big" with some nuttiness and perhaps a little early oxidative change....overall still pleasing albeit a bit "heavy"...not sure if this is the vintage talking or some progeria of the wine
