Vincent Dauvissat La Forest 1er Cru, Chablis

Domaine Vincent Dauvissat La Forest stands as a benchmark of the region, driving steady secondary-market interest through its idiosyncratic energy and legendary structural stamina. Under Vincent Dauvissat’s precise direction, this iconic bottling steps away from the naked, stainless-steel austerity often associated with modern Premier Cru Chablis. Sourced from 40-year-old vines rooted in the cool, clay-dominant Kimmeridgian limestone of this prized lieu-dit, ageing in seasoned, neutral oak barrels allows the wine to breathe without absorbing wood flavour. This traditional approach yields a multi-layered texture, balanced by a deeply chalky, oceanic minerality, and is made for 10 to 30+ years in the cellar.
