If there is a more enjoyable Chablis at this price, I haven’t been able to find. This delicious, classically crafted Chardonnay comes from a small handful of vines—many of which lie directly behind Grand Cru Blanchot—that were planted by Agnès and Didier Dauvissat several decades ago.
It’s the epitome of village Chablis, with tension and depth typically found in much more expensive wines. And, in 2016, their total production was minuscule, making this not only one of the most enjoyable and affordable Chardonnays of the year, but one that’s in high demand. Any fashionable restaurant worth frequenting should want this by the glass, but there are simply not enough to dole out! Thankfully, our arms are closely linked with Dauvissat’s boutique importer and we have enough of this addicting Chablis for you to purchase by the case today. At such a low price, this should be your new house white: It’s among the greatest white Burgundy values, one that will drink well over the next 5-10 years if kept well. It’s all charm, no pretense, and I find myself craving it more often than any other white this time of year.
