Wine Maker: Vincent Dauvissat
This is probably the finest address in Chablis. Vincent Dauvissat uses oak sparingly to add complexity and dimension to his piercingly mineral concentrated wines. They are wines that are rarely exotic in their youth, but with age (and they age by the decade) they evolve and develop into exciting and comprehensive wines of the greatest class and interest.
They're almost impossible to get; each year I ask for my allocation to be increased, but Vincent shruggs his shoulders knowingly as none of his export clients would ever give up a bottle of his beautiful wine.
