Killer nose: stanky, lemony, green apple, with so much soil, stone, Kimmeridgian oyster-bed character and Chablis soul. The mouthfeel is the whole story here. Rich, juicy, opulent and hedonistic in texture, but absolutely alive, with real voltage underneath. Deep, layered, mouthwatering and beautifully mineral, with that classic oyster-shell salinity running through the fruit. A basic Chablis only in name. This has serious depth, energy and texture. — 17 days ago

25 years younger than the 1989 Chapelot 1er Cru from Raveneau that we also opened, this 1er Cru is also brilliant, currently distinctly showing lemon and mineral/soil aromas and flavors, a touch of maturity but then the bracing acidity reminds me this definitely will evolve further, I was lucky to get a large slug of these 2014s, and they continue to impress, lingering finish, will cellar further!! This just might be an aged white wine I could even convince @Tom Casagrande of drinking at this age?!?!?! 🤔🤷😎 — 3 months ago

Had w steak. Accessible, good bit/tannins but not over the top, some blue berry undertones.
Likely buy again

,"reds joust spectacularly with the kinds of dishes you think about when there is a cool spring evening that might call for a fire pit— steaks, grilled vegetables, burgers—but the perfect pairing is a rich, slow-cooked Daube de Boeuf, the classic red wine–beef stew of the region." — 3 years ago

Finally got myself a bottle of one of the rarest wines I import. Only got an allocation in 18 for the first time. Anyway this is an insane bottle of Chablis. It’s basically Fabien’s Grand Cru. Nose is spicy and mineral. Sea water, hint of discreet wood. So salty. Nose is so classic and the most ethereal of the Dauvissat wines. Wow, the palate is so intense and explosive. Awesome minerality and electricity. Juicy and so pure. Backwards and will need air. So much sap and dry extract. Lime echo on the finish. So so long. Awesome power, majesty and density. What grip. What an intense wine. The length is crazy. — 5 years ago

Young, fresh, still quite primary fruit in this younger 1er Cru Vaillons, some tart lemon acidity, some fine minerality, a floral note as well, medium-long finish, needs a little more aging (2-4 years?) for my palate, but very, very nice!! — 3 months ago

Tight with a smirky smile. Gun powder and smoke unfolds into lemon vanilla, pear, coconut shavings, a little personality. — 7 months ago

Lovely aged 1er Cru Chablis, still quite fresh and lively, great fruit and complexity, lots of balancing acidity, I think the 2014 Cote de Lechet might be the top 2014 1er Cru, but this is darn good as well, long finish, “weird” perception on my palate, but I definitely perceived a subtle, yet distinct, “toasted coconut” note at one point (common in the beer pastry stout arena)!! — 3 months ago

Grassy, slight buttered risotto on the nose. Honeyed with a nice dry herbaceous finish. Great on its own or with food. — 5 months ago

Dirty mid Ruby in colour - tawny highlights On the nose red fruits (strawberries) with a touch of barnyard. A light to medium weight palate showing red fruits and sweet spice, but essentially a simple uncomplicated wine despite the fact that it cost $180 AUD. This is where good new World Pinots supercede Burgundies like this. The next night a better showing but no great complexity. — 8 months ago
