Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 2018
Vincent Dauvissat is an icon for Chablis and artisan winegrowers worldwide. His aim is to hand-tend vines with the highest respect for nature possible and to harvest fully ripe fruit that will result in wines which reflect their origins. This means Vincent often picks later than his peers, as he searches for full phenolic ripeness. Winemaking is low intervention, to allow the pure fruit and vineyards' terroirs to shine through in the wines. Ageing is in neutral 6-8 years old small oak barrels. His Chablis are truly authentic wines of great character, purity and minerality. They are famously reticent in their youth but reward hugely with age. The 2018 vintage is very approachable now, brimming with red apples and citrus fruit, complemented by zippy acidity and tension.
