We have a limited amount of this excellent back vintage of Dauvissat Forest. Dauvissat's Forest is a fantastic wine and one of the gems of the domaine. No one makes a bottling of Les Forets like Dauvissat's, and it is one of the single best examples annually. The 2018s have excellent cut and richness, and there's just so much refinement and detail to Dauvissat's wines. It is a very successful vintage for Dauvissat, and these back vintage bottles are starting to show well after years in the bottle. We have low pricing today on a limited amount, and it's a great way to grab a bottle of Dauvissat at less than the original release pricing that is ready to drink.
Antonio Galloni 93-95 points! "The 2018 Chablis La Forest 1er Cru is a big step up in all dimensions from the preceding 1ers in the cellar. Powerful, rich and also intensely mineral, the Forest is so vivid and so inviting. All the signatures of this site as interpreted by Vincent Dauvissat are ampled up in large-scaled Chablis endowed with tremendous personality and class. In a word: superb."
Burghound 93 points! "Like the Montée de Tonnerre this is overtly floral in character on the lightly spiced nose that displays additional aromas of mineral reduction, iodine, lemon peel and pear. There is a really lovely sense of verve suffusing the powerful yet reasonably refined larger-scaled flavors that culminate in an almost chewy bone-dry finish thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract. This muscular effort isn't as refined as the Montée de Tonnerre but it's just as complex and persistent."
