While we had the short-lived quest for steely Chablis, there have largely only been two camps among collectors: Raveneau and Dauvissat. Both superb, Dauvissat is the more traditional, classic Chablis style that every new producer seems to aspire to.

Vincent Dauvissat

Since Vincent joined his father Rene in the 1970s, the Dauvissat label has been a beacon of quality to every drinker and collector. Blessed with enviable holdings from Petit-Chablis through to the Grand Crus of Clos and Preuses, Dauvissat crafts wines of inimitable quality and longevity.

Les Clos and Les Preuses are two of the top Grand Crus in all of Chablis, yes; Premier Cru La Forêt, (otherwise known as "Forest") has a similar outlay with the classic Kimmeridgian soils and cool climate, generating the same sort of density and honeyed essence that the Grand Crus possess.

Other Premier Crus in the range - Sechet, Montmains, Vaillons - are vivid and vibrant; the village Chablis comes from nearby La Forêt and the Petit Chablis is often the latest to be harvested as it sits just above Les Clos at high elevation.

The grapes are crushed while still whole-cluster, preserving natural pH levels; fermentations are then carried out in enamel-lined tanks and some barrels, then aged in 6-8 year old barrels. Barrel aging is important for the style as they do not aim for reduction but rather ample oxygen interchange for their developing wines.

There is also a Dauvissat-Camus label, where the wines are made identically; the vines are simply owned by other members of the Dauvissat family.

Dauvissat's 2015 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet is starting to drink nicely as it closes in on its 10th birthday, offering up notes of honeyed citrus fruits, white flowers, bee pollen and oyster shells, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure and luminous palate, its ripe core of fruit animated by lively acids and lent relief by chalky dry extract that dominates the mineral finish. Dauvissat often excels in warmer years, and this 2015 supports that contention. If the corks continue to do their job (this was the first bottle out of the case I purchased on release), it should continue to evolve with style for over a decade.

The 2015 Chablis Séchet 1er Cru is a very pleasant wine, but it did not set my world on fire. A little primal and simplistic on the nose compared to Dauvissat's Premier Cru, it is also just a bit too rich for my liking. The palate is well balanced with an attractive creamy texture, quite sweet and just missing a bit of nervosité on the finish. Thoroughly pleasant, but not memorable. Tasted at Au Fils du Zinc in Chablis.
