Chablis Premier Cru La Forest - Vincent Dauvissat-Camus 2015

The estate

From Petit-Chablis to Grand Cru Les Clos, the Dauvissat family has elevated its mastery of Chardonnay to an art. 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, make up a family devoted to its terroirs and fine wines. While maintaining continuity, the estate has nonetheless made substantial progress in vineyard management under Vincent's impetus. Without certification, it has been working organically and biodynamically since 2002: "a personal approach; I'm not seeking an official label," explains Vincent Dauvissat, who knows that everything happens in the vineyard.

In the cellar, there are no magic recipes: wines are aged in barrels (10% new oak), with no bâtonnage and very low levels of sulfur, producing highly convincing results. Sadly, most of the estate's wines will be drunk far too soon, and it is no longer possible to buy them at the estate.
