• WINEMAKER: Vincent Dauvissat
• FARMING: Practicing organic viticulture (non-certified); sustainable methods
• VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
• TERROIR: Sourced from the ‘La Forest’ Premier Cru vineyard in Chablis, characterized by Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in fossilized marine organisms. This terroir imparts a distinctive minerality and saline quality to the wine.
• VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes; fermentation with indigenous yeasts; aging in older oak barrels to enhance texture without imparting strong oak flavors.
• AGING: Aged on fine lees for an extended period to develop complexity and mouthfeel.
• TASTING NOTES: Aromas of citrus oil, crisp stone fruit, white flowers, oyster shell, and subtle hints of orange blossom. On the palate, medium to full-bodied with a satiny texture, superb depth at the core, and an electric finish. The wine navigates the vintage’s extremes with ease, showcasing precision and vibrancy.
• FOOD PAIRINGS: Fresh oysters, seared scallops, lemon-roasted chicken, goat cheese tart.

"A brilliant wine in the making, Dauvissat's 2022 Chablis ler Cru La Forest unfurls in the glass with youthfully reductive scents of citrus oil, crisp stone fruit, white flowers, oyster shell and subtle hints of orange blossom. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with superb depth at the core and an electric finish, this cuvee has navigated the vintage's extremes with ease. (WK)"

"The 2022 Chablis Forets ler Cru, taken from a feuillette, has a detailed, dried honey and sous-bois-tinged bouquet, gaining delineation as it opens in the glass. The palate is quite citric on the entry, with fine tension, plenty of energy and a tightly wound and precise finish. Wonderfully focused, this Premier Cru conveys elegance and grace. (NM)"|
