Domaine Jean Dauvissat Père & Fils works 22 hectares of vineyard in Chablis across 7 communes with 53 separate parcels across Chablis and Chablis Premier Cru. Fabien took over from his father in 2009, following training in Beaune and Dijon concluding with a Masters on Bordeaux. The Domaine began with Fabien’s grandfather in La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne, but it was Fabien who took up where his grandfather left off in terms of bottling and labelling rather than selling off in bulk. Fabien’s approach is one of respect for the terroir, working each vineyard and parcel individually to express the differences from one site to another; and one of respect for the environment by restricting interventions wherever possible. Vinification is in temperature controlled stainless steel with the total maturation for the premier crus around two years. A young new Chablis producer to watch. Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils are known to produce Chablis that are rich, with the perfect balance between minerality and fruit. Using no oak, the wines are aged for a considerable time in modern stainless steel tanks before being bottled, so they have time to develop. Fourchaume is the best known of the Chablis premier crus, perhaps because it is an extension of the Grand Cru vineyards, and benefits from a similar Right Bank exposition.

Product Description The Domaine Jean Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons Châtain 2022 is a beautifully crafted wine that perfectly encapsulates the vibrancy and mineral depth of Chablis. This wine comes from the Vaillons vineyard, known for its distinctive character, and is crafted from vines that are carefully tended using organic and biodynamic principles. The wine presents a delicate bouquet of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, complemented by a hint of mineral smokiness. On the palate, it is crisp and fresh, with a lively acidity that balances the fruit-forward flavours of green apple and lemon zest. The finish is long and clean, with a touch of flinty minerality that defines the terroir. A wine of exceptional balance and precision, it is perfect for both immediate enjoyment and medium-term cellaring.
