2022 Vincent Dauvissat La Forest, Chablis Premier Cru, France

La Forest is widely regarded as one of Chablis’ greatest Premier Cru vineyards, and few producers translate its character more faithfully than Vincent Dauvissat. Sourced from old vines rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, this benchmark bottling captures the tension, depth, and longevity that have made Dauvissat one of Burgundy’s most revered domaines. Lemon oil, green apple, oyster shell, white flowers, and crushed chalk unfold across a palate of extraordinary concentration and precision. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in older oak, the wine balances power and restraint, finishing with a saline minerality that lingers for minutes. A reference-point Chablis capable of evolving for decades.
