WINEMAKER NOTES
2020 Vincent Dauvissat La Forest Chablis Premier Cru – Mineral Depth and Quiet Power
The 2020 Vincent Dauvissat La Forest Chablis Premier Cru is a textbook example of why this domaine sits at the top tier of Chablis. Drawn from one of the region’s most respected Premier Cru sites, La Forest is valued for its combination of saline drive, layered texture, and a long aging curve that rewards patience. In 2020, that identity comes through with clarity, offering both early definition and the structure to develop further in bottle.
Tasting Notes
Aromas lean toward citrus peel, green apple, and white flowers, with oyster shell and wet limestone rising as it opens. The palate is focused and tensile, carrying ripe but restrained orchard fruit over a firm mineral core. Fine acidity shapes the mid-palate, while the finish turns increasingly chalky and savory, leaving a clean, persistent impression that feels distinctly Chablis.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Made entirely from Chardonnay grown on Kimmeridgian limestone, La Forest benefits from well-draining soils that naturally emphasize precision and minerality. Fermentation is traditionally handled with a measured, low-intervention approach, followed by extended lees aging in older barrels to build texture without overwhelming the wine’s natural line and freshness.
Investment & Collectibility
Dauvissat remains among the most tightly allocated names in Chablis, and La Forest is consistently one of the most chased Premier Crus. For collectors focused on terroir-driven white Burgundy alternatives with proven longevity, the 2020 is a compelling cellar candidate.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2020 growing season delivered ripe fruit while retaining enough acidity to keep the style precise. If you have verified critic scores for this bottling, I can place them here in your preferred hierarchy.
