Vincent Dauvissat
La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
A lovely lucid nose of oyster shells, limestone, mild citrus. Intense palate of subtle lime fruit and loose saline fruit. Very good. Not hugely long

Jul 26th, 2017An absolute stunner. Reticent at the start, the nose eventually reveals beautiful notes of oyster shells, pears, green apples, lemon oil, and dried florals. Clearly still has a long life ahead at this stage, but the balance on the palate's already impeccable. Huge volume and layered texture intertwined with powerful cut and salinity. There's just so much intensity right to the searingly saline finish. Would have been nice to see this over a couple of days, but alas, the table deemed it gone over dinner. Definitely the best La Forest I've tasted.

Jul 6th, 2017Is this Parmesan cheese or wine? Love the reductive groove here. The young apprentice has easily overtaken his master.

Dec 17th, 2021Underwhelming. And the more I drink these wines the less interested in drinking more I am. They have lacked a tension or excitement.
