A terrific balance of ever so slightly candied fruit and savoury wood spice. Another major win is the fine grained palate coating texture no doubt due to it being unfined and unfiltered. Seriously what a bargain — 17 days ago
Excellent whole cluster northern Rhône. Dark and brooding. Wild yet refined. Would definitely buy again for 50 dollars. — 5 days ago
My first taste of anything Dauvissat which I kept around for a few extra years to soften the edges. Still vibrant, it has some pretty little subtleties but moves and dances less than I hoped it might.
Not to suggest there aren't things to appreciate. Smokey stone, and oyster shell, cool to the touch. Apple core and pear accents, and florals. Electric sour lemon starfruit with a bitter grapefruit finish.
Delicious, but it'll disappear without much noise into a memory bank of equally good Chablis at half the price. — 15 days ago
Deep ruby color as expected. Animal nose leather, blood, mushrooms (ceps), which smells of sweat and sex. Deep supple mouth, with many shades dominated by black pepper; developing as tasting sips after sips with also fine floral notes and mineral touches: A real trip! The acid grid is now nuanced, it's to drink now.
Robe rubis profonde comme attendue. Nez animal cuir, sanguin, champignons (cèpes), qui sent la sueur et le sexe. Bouche souple profond, aux nombreuses nuances dominées par le poivre noir; se développant à mesure de la dégustation gorgées après gorgées avec également des notes fines florales et un touche minéral: Un vrai voyage! La trame acide est aujourd’hui nuancée, c’est à boire maintenant. — a month ago

Light ruby color, beautiful shine. Nose: bright red fruits (strawberry, cherry), peppery, and mineral. Lively mouth with a slamming acidity, constituting the red thread of this tasting, balanced by gourmet notes of juicy fruit, and a beautiful chew in the mouth, with very fine tannins, as expected. Served at 12/13 degrees in summer, it is a perfect treat. 2018 is beginning to reveal welcome evolution notes, supporting a discreet oak aging. To be tasted absolutely within 1/2 years.
Robe rubis claire, belle éclat. Nez fruits rouges éclatants (fraise, cerise), poivrée, et minérale.
Bouche vive avec une acidité claquante, constituant le fil rouge de cette dégustation équilibré par des notes gourmandes de fruits juteux, et une belle matière en bouche, avec des tanins très fins, comme attendu. Servi à 12/13 degrés en été, c’est une parfaite friandise. 2018 commence à laisser poindre des notes d’évolution bienvenues, soutenant un boisé d’élevage discret. A regoûter absolument d’ici 1/2 ans. — 6 days ago
