The 2023 Domaine Jean Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Côtes de Léchet is sourced from the steep, south-west facing slopes just outside the village of Milly, one of Chablis’ most respected Premier Cru sites. Here, shallow soils rich in limestone and fossilised oyster shells lend the wine its unmistakable saline precision and stony backbone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dauvissat family farms traditionally, allowing the vineyard rather than the cellar to shape the character of the wine. Fermentation and élevage are handled with restraint, preserving purity of fruit and the cool, crystalline identity typical of the appellation. In the glass, the wine is focused and energetic, combining citrus brightness with a firm mineral core. The 2023 vintage shows slightly more generosity than cooler years, yet retains the hallmark drive and structure expected from Côtes de Léchet. Subtle texture emerges with air, revealing layers of orchard fruit beneath its mineral tension. This is a serious, terroir-transparent Chablis built on balance rather than weight. It drinks beautifully young for its freshness but will reward careful cellaring as complexity and depth slowly unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh and flinty\u003cbr\u003eAromas of lemon peel, green apple and white flowers with notes of crushed shell, wet stone and a delicate hint of oyster brine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Linear and mineral\u003cbr\u003eBright acidity frames flavours of citrus, pear skin and subtle white peach, carried by a chalky texture and pronounced limestone structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Clean and persistent\u003cbr\u003eLong, mouth-watering finish with saline minerality, citrus zest and a lingering stony resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A precise and classically styled Côtes de Léchet, offering aromas of citrus oil, green apple and oyster shell.
