FEATURES
The 1995 Rene et Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is a stunning example of mature Chablis from a top producer. Domaine Vincent Dauvissat (formerly Rene et Vincent Dauvissat) is highly regarded and considered among the elite Chablis estates. The 1995 vintage is described as "fully mature" and offers "superbly intense and beautifully defined medium-full flavors that just ooze minerality and offer superb length". Les Clos is widely recognized as the most acclaimed of the Chablis Grand Crus, exclusively planted with Chardonnay.
Tasting notes reveal a buttery, honeyed, and sensual nose, leading to an incredible flintiness, perfect minerality, and unwavering balance on the palate. Expect notes of baked apples, lemon peel, hazelnut, and white smoke. The wine also presents pine tree, forest, and mineral aromas, with perfumed, sweet almond marzipan-flavored fruit, a lush yet dry character, sneaky power, tremendous elegance, and hints of kumquat on the finish. Common descriptors include minerals, honey, stone, citrus, lemon, lime, apple, green apple, pear, butter, oak, and vanilla.
Food pairing suggestions: This Grand Cru Chablis is an excellent match for shellfish, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses. For an Eastern culinary experience, consider steamed fish with ginger and scallions, or delicate dim sum. Western pairings could include oysters, grilled scallops, lobster thermidor, or roasted chicken with lemon and herbs.
Event suggestions: This fully mature and complex white wine is ideal for a special occasion, a sophisticated seafood dinner, or for those who appreciate the depth and evolution of aged Chardonnay. 【A stunning Grand Cru Chablis from a top producer, fully mature with incredible flintiness and minerality】.
Serving advice: For a fully mature bottle like the 1995, decanting for a couple of hours has been noted as beneficial. Serve chilled, but not overly cold, to allow the intricate layers of its complex aromas and flavors to fully unfold.
