【Chablis's Ultimate Tension, Played by Limestone】

This is a premier cru from Dauvissat, a prestigious natural wine producer that represents Chablis. Chardonnay rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone soil is rich in minerals with notes of lemon, white flowers, and a saline quality reminiscent of the sea. The tension created by the crisp acidity and the expansive fruit, along with the flinty nuance that lingers on the finish, is truly a testament to a premier cru. The transparent liquid, born from rigorous biodynamic farming, will gain even greater depth with age. This is a gem of a bottle that embodies the true essence of Chablis.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
The aroma of honey flowers, lemon, and minerals reminiscent of crushed limestone emerges with a dense and taut profile.
Upon tasting, a very crisp line of acidity penetrates through, along with tense, fresh fruit, and a finish of sour lemon notes tightens the aftertaste.
Due to the difficult vintage of 2021, affected by frost, production was extremely low, resulting in a wine that embodies "Chablis-ness" with its concentrated fruitiness and transparency coexisting.
The lively acidity, characteristic of Vaillons on the left bank, supports the entire wine, and as it opens up after uncorking, a richer fullness also emerges.

Pairing
Raw oysters (with lemon)
Salt-grilled kuruma prawn
Pan-fried chicken breast with white wine sauce

Technical Data

Soil: Kimmeridgian (clay-limestone). Vaillons is a plot that clearly demonstrates a return to the most "Chablis-like" Kimmeridgian soil among Dauvissat's Premier Cru vineyards.
Vintage: 2021 saw severe frost damage, resulting in an extremely small production for this Vaillons, with only 7 barrels + 5 feuillettes (small barrels).
Harvest: Low yields, hand-selected high-quality grapes.
Fermentation: Traditional methods, with slow and careful fermentation.
Aging: Matured in Nevers oak barrels for a minimum of 1 year. Some new oak is used.
Winemaking philosophy: Maximizing the expression of the plot's characteristics. Pursuing a pure, concentrated wine with a structure capable of long-term aging.
