Dauvissat with Wax Closures | Unicorn Chablis!

It's not everyday that you see Dauvissat with wax closures in the states! The first bottling, destined for the US, sees a foil capsule, while a second bottling -- only some of which is sealed with wax -- is aged longer.

There is perhaps no grower in the region who has done a better job of retaining all of Chablis's classical signatures, even in warm vintages; these wines retain the tension and salinity one seeks. Combine Dauvissat's winemaking mastery with his wax closure bottles, and there are perhaps few better illustrations of age-worthy Chablis.

Only 6-12 bottles available for each cuvée.

2023 Vincent Dauvissat Petit Chablis
WA91, BH89 (Outstanding)
"Now in bottle, the 2023 Petit Chablis is delivering more than its modest origins imply. The wine rises from the glass with aromas of orange peel, pear and white flowers. On the palate, it reveals a generous, fleshy core of fruit energized by tangy acidity, lending the wine surprising gravitas. The finish is long, vibrant and mouthwatering. This is a Petit Chablis that punches above its weight."
-Kristaps Karklins

2019 Vincent Dauvissat Petit Chablis
WA90, BH89 (Outstanding)
"The 2019 Petit Chablis has turned out brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of citrus oil and white flowers, mingled with classically Chablisien hints of oyster jus and Parmesan cheese rind. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's deep and unusually concentrated, with tangy acids and a long, intensely saline finish. As usual, it's "Petit" in name only, surpassing many other producers' grandest bottlings."
-William Kelley

2022 Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru La Forest
WA93-96, BH93 (Outstanding)
"A brilliant wine in the making, Dauvissat's 2022 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest unfurls in the glass with youthfully reductive scents of citrus oil, crisp stone fruit, white flowers, oyster shell and subtle hints of orange blossom. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with superb depth at the core and an electric finish, this cuvée has navigated the vintage's extremes with ease."
-William Kelley

2023 Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru La Forest
WA96, BH92 (Outstanding)
"The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest is nothing short of superb in bottle and ranks among the year's most authoritative wines. A pure, marine-inflected opening—iodine, lemon peel and oyster liquor mingled with beeswax and dried apricot—precedes a concentrated yet tensile palate of taut muscularity. Bright acidity and abundant chalky extract lend the wine a bracing, kinetic edge, culminating in an intensely saline, persistent finish. Dauvissat here once again affirms its status as one of the site's greatest interpreters."
-Kristaps Karklins
