Established in the 1970s by Robert Dauvissat, the Domaine has passed down from father to son for three generations. Robert’s son René is to thank for establishing the reputation of the Domaine. Vincent began working with his father, René, in the 1970s and today runs the Domaine. A loyal following among France’s most esteemed restaurateurs sharply limits the availability of Dauvissat wines for export. Despite limited quantities, the wines have attracted the praise and attention of critics worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVincent Dauvissat farms nearly 30 acres of meticulously kept vineyards, following sustainable, organic and biodynamic methods. These vines (4.5 acres of Vaillons, 2 of Séchets, and 9.4 of Fôrets among the Premiers Crus; 2.5 of Preuses and 4.5 of Les Clos among the Grands Crus) are splendidly situated on hillsides underlain by Jurassic limestone. Yields are limited to about 50 hectoliters per hectare (3.7 tons per acre), modest by the standards of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this Wine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Grand Cru and Premier Cru bottlings often capture the spotlight, Domaine Vincent Dauvissat's village-level Chablis stands as a testament to the extraordinary quality achievable at this appellation level when produced by a master vigneron. Drawing from 3.10 hectares of carefully selected vineyards across multiple parcels within the Chablis appellation, this wine represents a significant portion of the domaine's production and serves as an excellent introduction to their distinctive style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes Dauvissat's Chablis Village from other producers' offerings is the same meticulous attention to detail applied to their more prestigious bottlings. These parcels are farmed with the same care as their Grand Cru sites, with yields controlled to ensure concentration and complexity rarely found at the village level. The result is a wine that consistently outperforms many producers' Premier Cru offerings, providing exceptional value for those who appreciate true Chablis character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVincent Dauvissat's Chablis Village is celebrated for its remarkable precision and depth while maintaining the approachable character expected from this appellation level. In its youth, the wine presents aromas of bright citrus, green apple, white flowers, and distinctive chalky minerality. With a year or two in bottle, additional complexity emerges, including subtle notes of white peach, hazelnut, and fresh herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the wine displays excellent tension between vibrant fruit flavors and precise mineral structure. The acidity is bright and refreshing without being austere, and there is a distinctive saline quality that enhances the wine's refreshment value and food-pairing versatility. What separates Dauvissat's village Chablis from most examples at this level is the remarkable persistence on the finish, with mineral notes that linger well after each sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile designed primarily for consumption within its first 5-7 years, a well-cellared bottle can continue to evolve positively for a decade or more in favorable vintages—an aging potential that exceeds most wines at this appellation level and provides excellent value for those seeking quality Chablis for mid-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Decanter Magazine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This classic expression of Chablis boasts aromas of ripe apple and grapefruit, oyster shell and minerals. The texture is lively and bright, with a classic equilibrium (alcohol at 13% and acidity of 5.5 g\/L), yet the wine also shows a charmingly expressive, generous side. Should open up in three years and drink well over the next 20.\" - Charles Curtis MW (Jun 2025)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points - Wine Advocate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 2023 Chablis—sourced chiefly from vineyard parcels that border La Forest—continues to distinguish itself as one of the finest examples in its category. Its bouquet weaves together citrus oils, pear and white peach. The medium- to full-bodied palate is ample and textural, displaying considerable depth and energy that persist through to a long, sapid finish. While it can—and undoubtedly will—be approached young, it possesses all the prerequisites for graceful evolution, bearing in mind that a wine’s longevity depends not on the vineyard-site name alone but on the way it is worked and made.\" - Kristaps Karklins (Jan 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Jasper Morris' Inside Burgundy:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mid lemon in colour, and showing more flesh than the Petit Chablis on the nose. Still absolutely a baby of course, but there are many more layers here. Plenty of different types of apple, a long even finish, showing the sunshine but well tamed. A Dauvissat classic in the making. Drink from 2027-2033.\" (Jun 2025)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REGAL WINE COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":53311476171117,"sku":null,"price":105.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/2022-Vincent-Dauvissat-Rene-Vincent-Chablis-750ml-SommPicks_1024x1024_99c66817-a906-48cc-91a4-a3565d348c7b.webp?v=1734568728","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/domaine-vincent-dauvissat-chablis-2023-burgundy-france","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
