Jean et Sébastien Dauvissat
Vaillons Vieilles Vignes Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Medium bodied - crisp acidity but fuller than expected because the wine sees more new oak (30%) than is customary for 1er Cru. Lemon, apple, flint, pear, and a silky texture. Very good but also very much a new style Chablis

Mar 13th, 2022Not bad but super dry acidity even after 6 years and just not fleshing out enough for me.

Jul 11th, 2020Laser beam, high acid, pushy tart fruit on the front end. Needs warmth and air to mellow it out. After a decant it really emerged. Crisp orchard fruits, meyer lemon, crushed oyster shell, kelp, tarragon, struck flint, damp wild mushrooms. So fresh, literally tastes like it was put in the bottle yesterday, not 6 years ago. I love the acid, my molars do not.
