Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Premier Cru Les Vaillons 2020 - White White Wine
94 points,"As is almost invariably the case, Dauvissat's 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is sensual and perfumed, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, peach, jasmine and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's vibrant and fleshy, with an ample core of fruit, racy acids and a long, saline finish."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 points,"From plots in Beugnons and Chatains, the oak is toasty on the nose, with a touch of orange-box evident alongside intriguing spice notes. Weighty on the palate, plush, this has a fair amount of puppy fat which it will shed with ageing in bottle. Plenty of acidity to keep everything in check."- Decanter Monsieur Dauvissat's Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru 2020 is jaw-droppingly beautiful, as it is in almost every vintage. We recommend tucking it away in the cellar for a couple of years to maximise the experience, but we won't be mad if you can't resist it now. Packed with potential, it's brimming with crunchy apples and pears, zingy lemon, lime and orange zest, white flowers, chalk, vanilla and a seasoning of white pepper and salty sea spray. Vincent Dauvissat is one of the finest domaines in all of Chablis. This family-run estate commands around twelve hectares spanning two Grands Crus and three Premier Crus, plus a little in Petit Chablis and Irancy. Their wines are frustratingly hard to come by due to the limited volumes, but are renowned for their purity and intensity, which puts them firmly on the radar of all connoisseurs.£34.67 per 100.00ml
