2020 Jean et Sebastien Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru "Vaillons", Burgundy, France
Amongst the 1er Crus at the Dauvissat domaine, the “Vaillons” is perhaps the most typical “Chablisien” with its clear reference to the Kimmeridgian subsoils … an intensely mineral wine with a persistent finish.

ABOUT THIS WINE
This Climate is enthroned in the centre of the Grand Côte, south-west of Chablis, facing south-south-east, on a very limestone subsoil, expressing all the mineral typicity of Chablis wines. It produces a generous, fleshy and incisive wine, more complex and ample when it comes to the “Vieilles Vignes” cuvée. The Dauvissat holdings are slightly in excess of 4 hectares with seven-tenths of a hectare being devoted to the old vines planting.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The estate encompasses slightly less than 10 hectares of vineyards. The Grand Cru vineyards are south-facing; the 1er Cru vineyards have a full southeast exposure; and the village property faces northwest. All are hillside sites with an “argilo-calcaire” soil composition heavily marked by small stones that provide for excellent drainage. Of course, the entire vineyard surface is underlain by the Kimmeridgian limestone that makes Chablis one of the most unique wine-producing areas in the world.
