Dauvissat's Forest is one of the essential wines of Chablis, from a domaine that sits at the very top of the appellation alongside Raveneau. Dauvissat’s wines are famous for combining a classic Chablis cut with unusual depth and texture, achieved through old vines, native fermentations, long aging on lees, and the domaine’s traditional use of older oak. La Forest, also known as La Forêt on some maps, is one of the great premier cru sites on the left bank of the Serein, with Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils and a south-facing exposure that gives the wine both ripeness and a firm marine-mineral spine, typically Dauvissat, making the best example in any vintage. The 2024 vintage was extremely difficult in Chablis, with frost, hail, rain, and mildew reducing yields, but the best growers made wines with the kind of freshness, salinity, and classical tension that Chablis buyers love. It will be a precise and classic vintage for Dauvissat, and we have great pricing on this new release today!
