2023 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis – Benchmark Village Chablis
The 2023 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis exemplifies the clarity and restraint that have made this domaine one of the most respected names in Burgundy. Drawn from multiple parcels across Chablis, this village-level bottling delivers remarkable precision and mineral expression, reflecting both the estate’s philosophy and the character of the region’s limestone soils.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and crushed oyster shell lead the nose. On the palate, the wine is focused and energetic, driven by saline minerality and bright acidity. Subtle orchard fruit and chalky undertones emerge with air, carrying through a clean, persistent finish that emphasizes purity over weight.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Produced entirely from Chardonnay grown on Kimmeridgian limestone, the wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged on fine lees in older barrels. Minimal intervention and careful élevage preserve freshness and site transparency. The 2023 growing season delivered even ripening conditions, resulting in fruit of balance and clarity.
Investment & Collectibility
Domaine Vincent Dauvissat remains one of the most tightly allocated producers in Chablis, with demand consistently exceeding availability. While approachable in youth, this village Chablis offers notable aging potential, making it a compelling entry point for collectors seeking terroir-driven white Burgundy.
