Jean Dauvissat 1er Cru Cote de Lechet
Domaine Jean Dauvissat Père & Fils manages 22 hectares of vineyards in Chablis, spanning 7 communes with 53 distinct parcels in Chablis and Chablis Premier Cru. In 2009, Fabien assumed control from his father, having undergone training in Beaune and Dijon, culminating in a Masters focused on Bordeaux. While the Domaine originated with Fabien's grandfather in La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne, it was Fabien who continued the legacy by emphasizing bottling and labeling over bulk selling. His philosophy revolves around profound respect for the terroir, addressing each vineyard and parcel individually to showcase the unique characteristics of each site. Moreover, he champions environmental respect, minimizing interventions whenever feasible. Vinification occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with premier crus maturing for approximately two years. Fabien is a promising, young Chablis producer making strides in the industry. Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils is renowned for crafting rich Chablis wines that strike an impeccable balance between minerality and fruit. With a commitment to eschew oak, their wines undergo an extensive aging period in contemporary stainless steel tanks before bottling, allowing for nuanced development. The classic Cote de Lechet epitomizes the epitome of mineral-laden Chablis. This premier cru Cote de Lechet embodies Left Bank precision, featuring razor-sharp acidity that tantalizes the palate. A distinctive floral introduction and hints of gun-flint smokiness characterize the mid-palate, while the finish is marked by vibrant berry fruit and enduring minerality. Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils is a rising star worth keeping an eye on in the world of Chablis
