Vincent Dauvissat is one of the most prestigious wine producers from the Chablis region in northern Burgundy. The domaine is family-owned and has been selling wine under the family name since 1931. Vincent began helping his father, René Dauvissat, in 1976, and he has since taken over the operation

The 2022 "La Forest" 1er Cru has all the tension of a loaded crossbow; let it soften in decanter for an entire hour (or two, or three!) to blow off some of its extra energy. The wine unleashes a wave of citrus sensations—Meyer lemon, kumquat, and yuzu. Its pale lemon-yellow is a bit deceiving for being profoundly rich and fat in the mouth, balanced by higher acidity and structure. The palate has chiseled minerality padded by fleshy sweetness. Fresh pineapple, raw pie crust, and heady notes of white truffle build slowly towards a salty, yellow-fruited crescendo. It is tense and alive and ready to rumble now and over the next 7-10 years.
