Domaine Vincent Dauvissat - Petit Chablis 2023
Domaine Vincent Dauvissat is located in Chablis , Burgundy . Founded in 1931 by Robert Dauvissat, the estate has been passed down from father to son for three generations. Robert's son, René, is the one who made the Domaine's reputation. Vincent began working with his father, René, in 1976 and now runs the Domaine. Vincent Dauvissat cultivates approximately 12 hectares of meticulously tended vines, using sustainable, organic and biodynamic methods, without certification. These vines (Vaillons, Séchets, Fôrets among the Premiers Crus and Preuses and Les Clos among the Grands Crus) are located on slopes underlain by Jurassic limestone. Vincent Dauvissat also produces a Chablis Villages and a Petit Chablis.
The Chardonnay grapes are naturally grown and harvested by hand. No destemming is performed, and malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. Unconventional for Chablis, Dauvissat forgoes stirring (stirring to increase lees contact). Vincent Dauvissat is also one of the few Chablis producers to use oak barrels for aging, although the barrels used are between 6 and 8 years old.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
