Easter bubbles! — 4 years ago
I’ve had this bottle sitting in my cellar pretty much since I got back from Riyadh, nearly 7 years ago. I’m not really sure why I held onto it as long as I did but whatever. It’s open now. In the glass, the wine pours a brilliant, deep golden color. A fully mature wine at this point with a whole host of secondary and tertiary characteristics on the nose: toasted bread, apricot marmalade, feta cheese, nuts, Vanilla Tootsie Roll (the blue wrapper), sour dough, desiccated tropical fruit, warm asphalt, and alfalfa. A truly strange combination but it’s all there, whether you want it to be or not. On the palate, dried apricot, flan, and cashews. Medium acid. The finish is long. At this later stage of its life, the 2010 Jean & Sebastien Dauvissat “Vaillons” is not a wine for everyone as there will no doubt be folks who’s palate will not agree with the oxidative character of the wine. That being said, I found it rather charming. Drink now. — 5 years ago

Had a grilled peach nose or something a bit savory. Tasted similarly. @Comice Paris with scallop carpacio — 3 years ago
My favorite Dampt wine and man is this electric. Acid for days. But a nice richness but man does that acid slap you right after. Awesome texture and length. Nose is stunning. Seashells, etc, but palate is the show. The acid is ridiculous. So complete and mineral on the finish. This is so fine. — 6 months ago

Melons and citrus on nose and palate, clean steely Chablis with lovely freshness and acidity.
