(9x75cl) 2020Wine Advocate (95+)
A striking young wine, Dauvissat's brilliant 2020 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest unfurls in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, orange oil, pear, oyster shell, freshly baked bread and smoke, framed by a deft touch of reduction. Medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's taut and concentrated, with racy acids, chalky structuring and a long, searingly mineral finish. Recent years have delivered so many brilliant renditions of La Forest that it's hard to pick a favorite between the likes of 2008, 2014, 2017 and 2019, but the 2020 is certainly a worthy entrant into the competition, and it's worth a special effort to seek out.Inc.

(12x75cl) 2021Decanter (95)
TOP QUALITY PRODUCER One of the Dauvissat specialities, the La Forest is a triumph in 2021. From seven small parcels, the total site is less than 1ha with average vine age more than 40 years. Intriguing, slightly smoky nose, highly distinctive and different to others in the range. Plenty of power, ripe stone fruit flavours, zesty citrus acidity with a herbaceous edge adding an extra dimension. Definitely of grand cru quality. (AH)Inc. VAT£2,497.78 -

A brilliant wine in the making, Dauvissat's 2022 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest unfurls in the glass with youthfully reductive scents of citrus oil, crisp stone fruit, white flowers, oyster shell and subtle hints of orange blossom.

(12x75cl) 2023Wine Advocate (96)
The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest is nothing short of superb in bottle and ranks among the year's most authoritative wines. A pure, marine-inflected opening—iodine, lemon peel and oyster liquor mingled with beeswax and dried apricot—precedes a concentrated yet tensile palate of taut muscularity. Bright acidity and abundant chalky extract lend the wine a bracing, kinetic edge, culminating in an intensely saline, persistent finish. Dauvissat here once again affirms its status as one of the site's greatest interpreters.Expected Price Range£1,440 - £1,760 -

Burghound (93)
(from a .30 ha parcel in Côte de Bréchain). Here the airy and expressive nose is even more floral in character with its notes of acacia, rose petal and even a suggestion of gardenia on the aromas of ocean breeze, wet stone and shellfish. The more refined and highly energetic if less concentrated medium-bodied flavors tighten up noticeably on the focused, moderately austere and overtly stony finale. This seductive yet serious effort is going to require at least a few years of patience and should repay up to a decade of keeping if you wish to see it at its probable peak.Inc. VAT£3,057.40 -
Wine Advocate (94)
A bottling that regularly excels chez Dauvissat, the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet opens in the glass with delicate aromas of citrus peel, grapefruit, crisp green apples and white flowers, with only subtle hints of the oyster shell to come. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with a deep and tight-knit core, striking tension and a searingly mineral finish. Séchet—where Dauvissat owns a 0.8-hectare parcel—is located in the Vaillons Valley, but its windier situation and soils richer in active limestone mean it's typically much chalkier and more tensile than the other climats that make up Vaillons.Inc. VAT£2,297.80 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2018 Chablis Sechet 1er Cru is creamy, open-knit and wonderfully inviting. Soft contours and expressive aromatics give the wine much of its early accessibility; I imagine it will drink well with just a few years in bottle, although it should age gracefully for a number of years as well. Dried flowers, ginger and spice add attractive touches of complexity on the finish.Inc. VAT£771.20 -
(1x75cl) 2020Vinous (91-93)
The 2020 Chablis Les Séchets 1er Cru is very pure on the nose, though not quite as mineral-driven as the 2019, that I tasted last year (also from barrel). But the aromatics are very elegant. Ditto the palate, which delivers fine acidity, impressive concentration, white peach and dried mango flavors and plenty of spice toward the finish. Excellent.Inc. VAT£170.65 -

The 2021 Chablis Les Séchets 1er Cru has a more backward bouquet compared to Dauvissat's other cuvées, ergo it demands a lot of encouragement from the glass. It doesn't quite slip out of second gear. The palate is more promising with fine concentration, good depth and spicier than usual; although, it just needs a little more mineralité to develop on the finish.Inc. VAT£151.73 -

The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp stone fruits, ripe lemons, white flowers, clear honey and subtle hints of warm spices.

(12x75cl) 2023Wine Advocate (95)
The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet, from the stony core of the Vaillons climat, is particularly impressive from bottle. Cool-toned aromas—lemon oil, spring blossoms and oyster juice—set the stage for a wine built around tension. Medium- to full-bodied, taut and precise, it delivers striking concentration and a crystalline, incisive core that culminates in a saline, bone-dry finish. Racy and oceanic, with deep reserves, this stands among the highlights of the domaine’s premier cru range this year.Expected Price Range£1,350 - £1,650 -

Burghound (92)
(from one-third Beugnons and two-thirds Châtains). A markedly more floral-infused nose reveals additional notes of white pepper, tidal pool, iodine and plenty of citrus elements. There is a bit more volume to the beautifully textured medium weight flavors that possess excellent punch while keeping a similar level of refinement on the balanced, focused and lingering finale. This is pretty much textbook Vaillons that is built-to-age.Inc. VAT£155.05 -

(12x75cl) 2023Wine Advocate (94)
Reflecting the influence of its deeper soils, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is, as ever, slightly more forthcoming than Séchet. Tangerine, peach and orange peel introduce the wine, preceding a full-bodied, layered and textural palate. Its generous attack is tempered by tangy acids and a chalky grip that keeps everything in sharp focus. Ample and undeniably charming today, its track record suggests that patience will be amply rewarded as it accrues further complexity with age. I would be inclined to open my bottles a decade or more after harvest.Inc. VAT£1,544.64 -

Often credited with converting the most ardent of Chardonnay sceptics, Chablis is the cooler Northern cousin to the wines of Burgundy’s famed Cote d’Or. Whether a Petit Chablis or from one of the seven Grand Cru vineyards, the unique Kimmeridgian soil of Chablis produces wines known for their intense freshness and minerality, often described as “flinty” or "steely.”
