Wow. Just wow. Amazing village Chablis.
Nose: lovely fleshy peaches. Elegant but sexy.
Palate: perfect peaches bonded with minerals. Dense sensual.
This wine really is its own thing.
If you have the room a 2 case purchase a year. 10 if you do dinner parties.

2023 vintage. A single parcel Chablis that could be mistaken for a Premier Cru (until you taste their Premiers Crus alongside. Much more complexity and minerality compared to the basic Chablis. — 20 hours ago

Killer nose. Sweet meyer lemon, some gras, seashells and a faint hint of citrus. Substantial and deep aromas. Crushed wet stones and some flint and matchstick. More will come as it seems to be holding back. Some campfire now with air. What a palate. This is the bizness! Hugely concentrated and pure with insane depth. Green apple and citrus and unreal purity. I mean this is as pure as a fresh snow in Chamonix. Finishes so mineral and seashell inflected it’s like your sucking on a conch shell. Man I love what Fabien is doing here. Huge power and concentration but so nimble and structured. Unreal. Will see where air brings this wine. As this got air it got insanely complex and picked up finesse and even more chewy concentration. — 2 years ago
Subtle green apples and sea minerals on the nose.
Very pretty translucency of lemon in the glass. Pale and poised.
Playful, zippy, yet contained and linear. It’s like someone said indulge your creativity but here’s a constraint so that you stay on task.
So taut. So clean. Densely mineral. Soulfully Chablis with that sea shell kimerridgian soil clarity.
Orchard fruit and maybe some light citrus fruit like kumquats. Underripe white peaches. Also reminds me of these light yellow raisins from the mountains of Hunzah my mom sometimes brings when she visits. Beautiful. — 17 days ago

Not to be confounded with the mythical Vincent Dauvissat, but this is a great estate in its own right. An excellent example of a basic Chablis. The " parcellaires" ( single parcel selections) are even better. — 20 hours ago
