Two Dauvissat Chablis

WINE TALK
1

1) 2000 Chablis “Vaillons” (V. Dauvissat)
Rich, mature golden color.
Fine nose of green limes, grilled nuts and wax.
Firm, lemony fruit, which due to a slight lack of acid, is a tad flat.
Good quaffer but nothing special. Drink up.
[87 pts]

2) 2005 Chablis “La Forest” (V. Dauvissat)
Light-medium yellow color.
Fine nose of lemon/lime, brine and ginger.
Rich, lemony/red grapefruit entry led to a very long, dry stoney finish.
Many layers of flavor and texture in this pup.
Drinking nicely now and for the next few years.
[92+ pts]

Thanks for the report, Paul. The 2005 vintage has been bad mouthed a fair amount, but I think it has come out of it’s funk over the past year or two. It is a little more burgundian than some people prefer, but hell, I like white burgs, too.
