Another terrific showing from the superb Vincent Dauvissat. After an hour decant the wine shows its racy energy, stony minerality, chamomile, oyster shells and its seamless integration of oak and acid. Finishes wonderfully long and with great tension.

Soaking up Paris for the holidays. Made my late mom's traditional xmas-eve clam chowder, sourced from our neighborhood Marché Maubert. Lemon curd, stones, caramel. Bracing acidity. Long finish. Happy.

Reduction. Minerals. Surprisingly ripe Chardonnay fruit, even tropical notes.

What's to say. A near perfect bottle (open 1 day?) accompanying carpaccio of sea bass, buffalo mozzarella, spring pea purée, purée of cedrat.

Beautiful from first sip. Salty and delicate florality. (White petals and crushed dry oyster shells.). July begins well.

Dauvissat Chablis 1er La Forest 2013. Linear and mineral and then gains fat on the palate. A bit too leesy for very briny oysters.
