FEATURES
The 2019 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Premier Cru La Forest is a benchmark Chardonnay from one of Chablis' most celebrated premier cru vineyards. The 2019 vintage was generally considered terrific, producing wines of balance, harmony, and elegance. This wine embodies remarkable purity, mineral intensity, and understated power, reflecting Dauvissat's traditional approach and meticulous vineyard work.
Robert Parker describes the 2019 La Forest as the deepest and most complete of Dauvissat's premiers crus, offering a complex bouquet of orange oil, pear, and fresh bread, complemented by top notes of iodine, dried white flowers, and beeswax. It is medium to full-bodied, satiny, and enveloping, with layers of concentration, superb mid-palate volume, lively acids, and a long, electric finish. Jasper Morris notes a clean, pure profile with greater depth of lemon and lime, and a complex nose. Winemaker notes suggest a very ripe nose with butterscotch and caramel, leading to a palate of baked apple, pineapple, and hazelnuts, culminating in a warm, super-ripe finish of juicy white peach. Other tasting notes highlight precise aromas of citrus, orchard fruit, and crushed stone, with a focused and energetic palate that balances concentration with tension, delivering remarkable depth without sacrificing freshness. Marine-influenced aromatics, including sea spray and oyster shell notes, are also often present.
