Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils
Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
My humble contribution to the Tailgate shenanigans. Compared to the other white Burgs poured tonight, the color alone was an outlier and it didn’t stop there…but that was to be expected. The 2021 seems impossibly bright, laden with tart tropical fruit; steely, chalky, leesy, lovely. This should drink well through 2036+.

Nose is very mineral with lemon curd and tiny tiny hint of sweet lime flesh. It’s a bit cold out of the fridge but it will not me mistaken for anything else besides Chablis. White flowers and mega seashells. Gorgeous. Palate is nimble, fresh and has terrific acids. Really linear and pure. Just a tremendous bottle. So juicy and very sapid. Finishes salty and mineral. Great showing. Sneaky long finish and super chiseled.

Oct 31st, 2022Ripe nose with loads of seashells and sand and ripe Meyer lemon actually. Glorious aromas and ripe but still very much Chablis. Palate is ripe and chiseled with wonderful freshness, salinity and roundness. Nose is dripping with Chablis essence. Terrific inner mouth aromas and greet concentration. Showing so well.

Oct 7th, 2021Nose is a bit quiet. Super mineral and airy but seems closed. Palate has it all but it also seems closed. Lemony. Lime. Huge blast of minerals. But seems awkward and super closed. This wine is like some kid in early puberty wither the skeezy mustache as the only gasp of facial hair. Will revisit.
UPDATE - wow. 8.9 to 9.3. What clarity, grip and minerality. Gorgeous elegance and sweet minerals. Awesome. Air just made this magical.

Clean, mineral-driven, soft and round. Compared to the other premiere crushing from this producers this one seemed just a tad unfocused. Medium finish

Sep 14th, 2018We did 21 barrel samples so 2020 bottle shot. Bottled in August. Super expressive nose, ripe and exotic. green pea, salt, but so complex and detailed. So much nuance. Silky and complex and has amazing finesse and elegance with an exciting and sapid finish, what energy as well. So mineral on the finish and tremendous complexity. Also a purity that is out of hand.

This is very good but not as good as the 14 lechet or the 15 montmains from the critically hated vintage. Go figure. It’s very good and perfectly balanced. But it lacks the density of the 14 Lechet. Still a eellnmade wine and a lovely drink with scallops.
After an hour this has this almost sweet tartness. Lovely. And the internal aromatics are very good. Lingering acidity. Still a notch below the other two wines but very good and Fabian worthy.

Would not guess this is a 15.
Nose is gorgeous. It has that insane gorgeous perfumey density. As it aerates it evolves into some crazy intense profound rich mineral thing with undefined rich fruit.
Pretty classic balance wise albeit with some nice fruit. Still that chablisien minerality. Awesome texture. Wow. Sweet rocks on the palate. Almost some northern Rhône like elements. Sick.
Beautiful long finish. Like petrified green apples.
Top top top top notch.
This guy is a star. Buy as much as you can cellar. You will weep you didn’t buy more when these are raveneau prices.
