Jean et Sebastien Dauvissat Vaillons Chablis Premier Cru 2020
$48.99
Critical Acclaim: 92 pts Burghound.
About the Wine: The Dauvissat holdings are slightly in excess of 4 hectares with seven-tenths of a hectare being devoted to the old vines planting. The "Vaillons" vineyard lies in the center of the large 1er Cru hillside on the southwestern side of Chablis. The vines are on a steep slope and have a south-southeast exposition. Amongst the 1er Crus at the Dauvissat domaine, the "Vaillons" is perhaps the most typical "Chablisien" with its clear reference to the Kimmeridgian subsoils. Intensely mineral wine with a persistent.
Tasting Notes: "Elegant and cool aromas include those of lemon, green fruit, pepper and wisps of iodine. The lush, round and generously proportioned flavors are supported by bright acidity on the saline and citrus-tinged, dry and sneaky long finale. This moderately dry effort could use better depth, but more should develop with time in bottle."- Burghound.
Serving Suggestion: Aromatic fish and white meats.
Varietal: Chardonnay.
