2018 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Petit Chablis (Pre-Arrival)

SKU #1542043 89-90 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark From a parcel on the plateau behind Clos A, this is a rare bottling for this domaine. Refined and flinty, grapefruit nose with lemons and such an intense, reductive edge. There’s plenty of weight and glycerol on the palate with smooth, long and assertive presence. Grip. Extract. Drink now. Inner quote mark (8/2019)

88-90 points Vinous

Outer quote mark The 2018 Petit Chablis is a beautiful, creamy wine endowed with terrific nuance and complexity, especially at this level. Readers who want to understand what makes these wines so distinctive - and the vintage so special in the smaller appellations - will find that here. Almond, dried pear and floral notes grace the exquisite, mid-weight finish. (AG) Inner quote mark (1/2020)

Allen Meadows - Burghound

Outer quote mark There is unusually good typicity in the context of the 2018 vintage present on the fresh, expressive and ripe nose that speaks primarily of white orchard fruit and quinine nuances. There is both fine richness and volume to the relatively dense middle weight flavors that possess very good mid-palate density before concluding in a dry bitter lemon-inflected finish where the only reproach is a hint of warmth. This isn't elegant but it's very Petit Chablis in character. Inner quote mark (11/2020)

John Gilman

Outer quote mark The 2018 Petit Chablis from Domaine Dauvissat is excellent and is going to be a terrific value this year. The bouquet is bright and precise, offering up scents of apple, lemon, chalky minerality, white flowers and a nice topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely ripe in personality, with fine focus, excellent cut and grip and a long, zesty finish that closes with a pronounced note of orange peel. Good juice. (Drink between 2020-2028 Inner quote mark (12/2019)

K&L Notes

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy: "This was the first to be picked, for a change. Pale clear colour, the traditional sulphur note behind in youth, then a gorgeous sweetness of fruit, utterly delicious, with some baked apples. I am almost ready to gulp this down now!"

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chardonnay

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Chablis

- The region north of the Cote d'Or, famous for its steely dry white wines made from Chardonnay. There are 7 Grands Crus vineyards, and numerous Premier Crus. Unfortunately, the name has been borrowed and badly abused by producers of inferior white wines in the US as well as in Australia. True French Chablis is a delicate, stony, crisp Chardonnay, bearing no resemblance to the anonymous plonk so labeled here.
