Vincent Dauvissat, Chablis Le Forest 1er Cru, 2020
🏰The 2020 Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Le Forest 1er Cru is a benchmark expression from one of Chablis' most revered producers, offering a 【taut, layered, and intensely mineral profile】. From a warm, dry, and sun-filled vintage, this wine masterfully captures both ripeness and energy. It unfurls with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, orange oil, pear, oyster shell, freshly baked bread, and a deft touch of smoke. On the palate, it's structured and driven, showcasing intense saline minerality, a finely etched citrus core, and a lingering, stony finish. This is a wine of precision, not immediacy, with generosity from the vintage tempered by bracing acidity.
🍴 This exquisite Chablis pairs beautifully with simply grilled langoustines, Dover sole meunière, or fresh goat's cheese with olive oil and herbs. It also works exceptionally well with poultry in a white wine and tarragon sauce or risotto with spring vegetables, echoing its clarity and tension. Seafood platters, especially with multiple small plates, would also be a fantastic match.
🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated seafood dinner or a special occasion where a precise, mineral-driven white wine is desired. This Premier Cru has remarkable focus and longevity, and will reward cellaring beautifully over 10–15 years.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Vincent Dauvissat is one of the most prestigious producers in the Chablis region of northern Burgundy. It is family owned and operated and has been selling wine under the family name since 1931. The domaine owns portions of land in two Grand Cru vineyards: Les Clos and Les Preuses. In addition, Dovesate also has four top vineyards: Séchet, Vaillons, Montmains and the acclaimed La Forêt (Dovesate is labeled "La Forest"), whose quality is comparable to that of grand cru in premium vintages.
