Wine Advocate
Reviewed September 2023A brilliant wine in the making, Dauvissat's 2022 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest unfurls in the glass with youthfully reductive scents of citrus oil, crisp stone fruit, white flowers, oyster shell and subtle hints of orange blossom. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with superb depth at the core and an electric finish, this cuvée has navigated the vintage's extremes with ease. (WK)

James Suckling
More volume and concentration without the pucker and rockiness typical of the Montee de Tonnerre. This is a real crowd pleaser. A confluence of stone and orchard fruit on the palate. It shows old-vine power from a warmer site. While this is an ersatz grand cru for many, this doesn't quite deliver the clarity of some of its siblings.

Pure and focused, this is a gorgeous La Forest (written Forêt on the AOC map) with dense fruit packed onto the palate. Guava, plumcot and fresh croissant pop on the nose. The palate adds an aniseed influence. The rich mouthfeel is encased—even dominated—by resolutely firm acidity. This is one for the ages.

The barrels are in the grand cru part of the cellar for once. Clear pure pale lemon colour. The bouquet is classic but not yet very developed. Everything is entirely there but less demonstrative. The structure of this wine is so impressive, pure white ripe apple, but stretches so far back on the palate, before a slightly more saline finish.
