Chablis Premier Cru La Forest - Vincent Dauvissat-Camus 2015 Magnum

The estate

From Petit-Chablis to Grand Cru Les Clos, the Dauvissat family has elevated its mastery of Chardonnay to an art form. In its old 17th-century cellars, the Dauvissat family produces Chablis wines that have won over many enthusiasts around the world.

René, then Vincent from 1976, and now Gislain and Étiennette since 2013, are a family dedicated to their terroirs and great wines. In a spirit of continuity, the estate has nevertheless made substantial progress in vineyard management under Vincent’s guidance. Without being certified, it has worked organically and biodynamically since 2002: “a personal approach; I’m not looking for an official label,” explains Vincent Dauvissat, who knows that everything happens in the vineyard.

In the cellar, there is no magic formula: aging in barrels (10% new oak), no batonnage, and very low sulfur doses produce a highly convincing result. Sadly, most of the estate’s wines will be drunk far too young, and it is no longer possible to buy them at the estate.
