Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils Chablis 2023 (750ml) *

Chablis is Chardonnay grown at the cool northern edge of Burgundy, where the grape trades ripeness for cut and precision. This is the village-level bottling from Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils, the 2023 vintage, a straightforward expression of the appellation meant to be enjoyed young rather than cellared.

The nose leans on green apple and yellow plum, aromas that open and gain definition as the wine sits in the glass. The entry carries a faintly candied sweetness before fine, cleansing acidity takes over and pulls everything into line. It is an approachable, easygoing style of Chablis, best appreciated in its youth while the fruit is fresh.
