Chablis 2006 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Another generique exceptional for being hand-harvested and for its quality is the Dauvissat 2006 Chablis. Smelling sweetly of ripe peach, lily perfume, and a hint of vanilla, this fills the palate with lush fruit but also savory, saline, shrimp- and lobster-reduction mineral character, finishing with lip-smacking generosity and (for its appellation) startling length. I can see no reason to defer gratification, but this should drink nicely for another couple of years. As wonderful as this is for “simple” appellation Chablis, the 2005 is in the same exalted quality league.
