Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 2011 is a fine Burgundy wine produced by Dauvissat.

This region represents the most northern wine area of the whole Burgundy, a wine land characterized by a very particular micro climate because of its exposure, mainly cultivated with Chardonnay. The Chardonnay of Chablis is not the usual white wine we are used to: the cooler climate of this region together with the layers of limestone rich in fossils and a permeable but well drained soil, leads the roots to the extreme absorption of all the micro particularities of the terroir, assuming a typical bouquet decidedly more mineral characterized by the famous gunpowder which makes Chablis wines great.

Description

Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 2011 Dauvissat

The 2011 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest is a fine Burgundy wine produced by Dauvissat. The Chardonnay grapes come from the 1er Cru La Forest vineyard.

This is Forest with an extraordinary amount of aristocratic breeding. Of course, this should come as no surprise. Chablis can share the stage with the best wines in the world, and this status is largely thanks to the efforts of Dauvissat and Raveneau.

It’s not like we need another example of Dauvissat’s skill, but the 2011 Forest announces his mastery in a profound way. When everything is said and done, Dauvissat is likely to stand out as the producer who best harnessed the 2011.

At a price that’s half the grand crus, many knowledgeable observers regard La Forest as a near-equal, regularly achieving grand cru levels of expressiveness, depth and complexity.

Dauvissat produces three other premier crus—Sechet, Vaillons and Montmains—and they are among Chablis’ best. But as fine as they are, La Forest combines a rounder, more honeyed texture with deeper aromas and flavors. This enables the wine to reach a degree of weight and complexity typically found only in the best grand crus. There is also a pronounced forest floor characteristic with an anise seed nuance that comes with age; this, too, is an expression of the great La Forest terroir.

DAUVISSAT

The Domaine Dauvissat is considered one of the two fathers of Chablis wines together with the former Domaine Ravaneau, thanks to wines with an unmistakable style, with a superior technique and absolute purity.

Since 2002, Domaine Dauvissat has been working in biodynamic agriculture, the natural wines of Dauvissat are born spontaneous fermentations, without clarification and batonnage. The vinification and subsequent maturation of the Chablis Dauvissat wines takes place according to tradition in steel and for a small part in wood, without ever exceeding, there is in fact no trace of wood on tasting.

Domaine Dauvissat has 14 hectares of which 2.70ha of Chablis Grand Cru for an average production of 80,000 bottles.

The Chablis Dauvissat are wines already enjoyable in their youth with a full and elegant juice but with almost infinite aging capacity, given the size of the Domaine, unfortunately the bottles are subject to speculation and are in fact unobtainable in the market.
