Wine Advocate (92-94)
Yields were so low in this vintage, that Dancer opted to blend his top crus together, picking and pressing Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée and 1er Cru Tête du Clos together, then doing the same with Meursault 1er Cru Perrières and Chevalier-Montrachet, before blending the must and fermenting to produce just under three barrels of wine. The resulting wine, released as the 2021 Vin de France OSKAR, is lovely, opening in the glass with notes of pear, toasted nuts, dried white flowers and confit orange, framed by a deft touch of reduction, followed by a full-bodied, ample and layered palate that's concentrated and racy.In Bond£5,494.00 -

This is compositionally similar to the Bourgogne though the earth influence is more pronounced. The juicy and succulent medium-bodied flavors possess solid mid-palate density while the sneaky long finish is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins. This could also be enjoyed young as the tannins are nicely pliant.In Bond£415.00 -

(these vines average about 55 years of age, like the Séchet and Forest): Very pale yellow. Lemon oil, flowers and a lightly lactic yeasty nuance on the nose. Tight, upright and penetrating, with brisk lemony acidity intensifying the dense flavors of white peach and almond flower. Shows terrific grain and palate presence and finishes with explosive mounting length. A very serious Vaillons. Dauvissat noted that as these vines have aged, they are yielding consistently more mineral wines.In Bond£662.00 -

The 2012 Chablis La Forest is one of the most reticent wines in this range. Here it is the wine's phenolic weight and vertical sense of structure that stand out. Lemon oil, ash, smoke and petrol are some of the many nuances that inform a tightly-wound finish that never really opens up. The 2012 Forest is a wine for the patient, but it is shaping up to be a gem.In Bond£821.00 -

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.In Bond£128.00 -

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)In Bond£2,043.00
