Chablis Premier Cru

2023 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Vaillons Premier Cru – Precision Chablis from Old Vines

The 2023 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Vaillons Premier Cru captures the restrained power and mineral clarity that define this revered Chablis estate. Sourced from one of the most expressive Premier Cru sites on the left bank of the Serein, Vaillons consistently delivers a balance of tension, depth, and age-worthy structure that places it among Burgundy’s most sought-after white wines.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with aromas of citrus peel, white peach, oyster shell, and crushed stone. On the palate, it is taut and focused, driven by saline minerality and vibrant acidity. Subtle notes of orchard fruit and wet limestone emerge with air, carrying through a long, precise finish that reflects both site and vintage purity.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Produced exclusively from Chardonnay grown on Kimmeridgian limestone soils, the Vaillons parcel benefits from ideal sun exposure and excellent drainage. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, followed by extended aging on lees in older barrels to preserve freshness and texture. The 2023 growing season offered steady ripening conditions, resulting in fruit of clarity and balance.

Investment & Collectibility

Domaine Vincent Dauvissat remains one of the most tightly allocated producers in Chablis, with global demand consistently exceeding supply. The Vaillons Premier Cru is prized for its ability to evolve gracefully over time, making it a compelling addition for collectors focused on terroir-driven white Burgundy.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2023 vintage in Chablis produced wines of energy and precision, marked by purity of fruit and strong mineral definition. Early assessments highlight both approachability and long-term potential.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating: 92-95) Informed by deeper soil than Séchet, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons opens from the glass with aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, tangerine and smoke. Extroverted, full-bodied and textural, with a chalky grip and saline finish, Vaillons is more open-knit than its neighbor Séchet. However, this youthful charm can be deceitful, as, based on my experience enjoying this cuvée 10 or even 15 years after harvest, it always richly rewards patience.

Vinous

The 2023 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru was the cuvée that did not quite shine when I tasted it from barrel 12 months earlier. Now in bottle, this still just needs a little more vivacity and tension on the nose. It's outflanked by the Séchets at the moment. The palate is linear, strict and very well balanced with fine mineralité. Overall, this just lacks the bandwidth and complexity of a great Vincent Dauvissat.
