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.

The 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is broader in gesture and more assertive than its other grand cru sibling. Aromas of peach, almond paste, beeswax and orange oil intertwine with a marine nuance. The palate is full-bodied and multidimensional, its concentration and lavish texture moderated by a bright line of acidity and abundant structuring extract, concluding in a long, saline finish. While markedly different from Les Preuses, it is no less thrilling and should age effortlessly for at least three decades—assuming the cork does its part.

The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet that is slightly less reduced than the Les Preuses at the moment. This has good intensity. It's not the most complex that I have ever tasted from Dauvissat, but this is nicely poised. The palate is very elegant and nuanced, with exquisite balance, but you really feel the weight and depth on the back palate. There's a lovely tingle of spice on the aftertaste as this lingers in the mouth. The 2023 is outstanding.
