Wine Critic Reviews:
The 2016 la Forest from Domaine Dauvissat is another absolutely classic wine in the making and one of the finest young vintages of this iconic Chablis bottling that I have had the pleasure to taste. The gorgeous bouquet offers up marvelous precision and mineral signature in its blend of apple, pear, a touch of youthful grapefruit, flinty minerality, orange peel and hints of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, racy and absolutely rock solid at the core, with brisk acids, laser-like focus and excellent grip and length on the complex and zesty finish. A gorgeous wine in the making (Drink between 2020-2050).

| Country | France: Words fail us when trying to adequately portray France's place in the world of wine. It's downright impossible to imagine what wine would feel and taste like had it not been for France's many, many viticultural pioneers. Fine wine is the blood of France's vigorously beating heart, and it finds itself in many aspects of French culture. With a viticultural history that dates all the way back to the 6th century BC, France now enjoys its position as the most famous and reputable wine region on the planet. If you have a burning passion for masterfully crafted, mouth-watering, mind-expanding wines, then regular visits to France are probably already in your schedule, and for a good reason. |
| Producer | Dauvissat: Within Chablis, Dauvissat is potentially the best winery we can name, a position coveted by many, but contested by very few. Their wines are always groundbreaking and memorable, with a purity of flavor that seems unattainable anywhere else. The terroir is amazing, and the land has supported many generations of grapevines until now, creating a sense of time-honored tradition and dedication. This terroir expresses itself through a deeply saturated mineral hue on the flavor spectrum, with a purity that could make you believe you're drinking liquid diamond. The addition of an aromatic mixture similar to that of a forest floor creates an overall earthy, satisfying experience, with notes of anise seed and flowers sneaking in ever so subtly. The wines are refreshing, balanced, and incredibly mouth-watering. |
