    This is a true representative of the Chablis style. The vineyard covers almost the entire geographical area of the appellation since we own about forty parcels located in 7 different communes. Located throughout Chablis, 40 parcels of Chablis offer a multitude of different Characteristics. Harvested and matured separately, to be assembled later to create a pure and rich Chablis. The average age of these vines is 40 years. This multitude of parcels allows Domaine Jean Dauvissat to obtain rich Chablis with a perfect balance between minerality and fruitiness.

    After a rather mild and dry winter, 2022 began with spring frost, though damage remained very limited. An exceptionally warm spring made a significant difference, with temperatures rising in May marking the start of vegetation. Mid-flowering was observed by the end of May under excellent conditions. Summer was hot and dry, leading to a ripe and perfectly healthy harvest. We harvested our Chablis on September 7, 2022.

    In the cellar, after a long pressing and static settling of 12 to 24 hours, fermentation occurred at 20°C using natural yeasts. Then came malolactic fermentation, followed by long maturation on fine lees. Maturation took place in both stainless steel and in demi-muids of 600 liters. After 12 months, these were assembled and continued their maturation process together for an additional 6 months. A slight fining and filtration were performed where necessary to ensure a wine that is clear and stable over time. This wine has not been treated with cold to preserve all aromatic finesse. Bottling took place on January 10-11, February 1, and March 21-22, 2024, approximately 18 months after harvest.

    Domaine Jean Dauvissat is a family-owned estate that has been producing exceptional wines since the 1950s. Founded by Alphonse Dauvissat, the estate is now run by Fabien Dauvissat, who joined the domaine in 2009 and has since focused on elevating their winemaking practices. The estate spans over 23 hectares across seven communes in the Chablis region, including the prized Montmains vineyard. Fabien's commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of the production process, from organic viticulture to the careful manual harvesting of grapes. With a focus on preserving the integrity of the terroir, Domaine Jean Dauvissat crafts wines that are rich, expressive, and true to their roots, with minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar.
