Killer nose. Sweet meyer lemon, some gras, seashells and a faint hint of citrus. Substantial and deep aromas. Crushed wet stones and some flint and matchstick. More will come as it seems to be holding back. Some campfire now with air. What a palate. This is the bizness! Hugely concentrated and pure with insane depth. Green apple and citrus and unreal purity. I mean this is as pure as a fresh snow in Chamonix. Finishes so mineral and seashell inflected it’s like your sucking on a conch shell. Man I love what Fabien is doing here. Huge power and concentration but so nimble and structured. Unreal. Will see where air brings this wine. As this got air it got insanely complex and picked up finesse and even more chewy concentration. — a year ago

Сегодня губернатор Шапша вручил мне Почетную грамоту за заслуги перед Калужской областью. Захотелось выпить Шабли. Это замечательное премьер крю 2016 года от Дависсо было выпито в Просто Космос 10.12.2020. Отличное и нежное шардоне. Мое. — 4 years ago

To begin, a very nice Côte de Léchet, but I think that Jean Dauvissat does this 1er Cru best.

Nose is cooked lemon, lemon pith, light/wet limestone and under-ripe white peach.

Palate has fresh, steamed lemon, crunchy oyster shell soup and lemon curd (light).

Solid wine, plus 2016, nice QPR. — 6 years ago

The ‘14 remains the quintessential Chablis AOC. So fresh, like just-squeezed crisp Chardonnay fruit poured over fragrant, chalky limestone. What it lacks in depth and weight compared to the top premier crus, it makes up for in sheer exuberance and freshness. Love this wine. — 7 years ago

Wow. Awesome. A bit less rich than the 14. Just Great. Screaming mineral and stone fruit on the nose. Fruit and mineral with integrated richness on the palate. So alive. Just jumps at you. Finish is mineral and long. Just sweet minerals that cling to the palate like super glue. Finish is perfect. Like a roller coaster up (fruit) side (mineral) sideways (forward). Perfect balance between big flavors. A wine you can either gulp down or savor over an evening. Wow what a star. Bought from fass selections. ... if I had to do a two word tasting note it would be “Fucking magic”. Vaporizes $100 Côte d’Or. 25 - 35 or so. Wish I bought it all. — 6 years ago

Gorgeous nose. Very clean and mineral, expansive and exotic but spicey. Sea air and so salty. Tremendous aromas. Rich and silky but great acid and concentrated. Long and with a great kick. Amazing mineral intensity that builds on the finish. And also a fruit explosion.Nose is sick on the empty glass. Flowers. Layered and elegant. — 2 years ago

This rare beauty had immense tension on the palate. Minerality really is the protagonist here. Chalk and crushed shells emerge from the million years Jurassic soils to show that this is a serious piece of art that will live forever. Just like you feel when drinking Dauvissat, is like taking a surf trip to the most pristine and pure salty waters. Its salinity explodes as flavour and texture. Just like being underwater. A transparent representation of its place, and of true flawless natural and biodynamic wine. — 8 years ago
