Product Description:
Forty parcels, one classic expression of Chablis.
Domaine Jean Dauvissat’s 2023 Chablis is a benchmark example of the style—mineral, bright, and finely textured. Sourced from 40 individual parcels spread across seven communes, the wine brings together the diverse soils and exposures of the appellation in a carefully layered blend. Each plot is vinified and matured separately before blending, resulting in a cuvée that reflects both precision and depth.
The average vine age sits around 40 years, contributing concentration to the citrus and stone fruit core, while stainless steel ageing preserves the crisp, saline drive that defines great Chablis. With organic certification now in place, this release also reflects a vineyard philosophy focused on long-term balance and sustainability.
Pure and expressive, it’s an ideal match for shellfish, grilled white fish, or goat cheese—and a go-to for anyone seeking the clarity and finesse of true Chablis.
Maker
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.
Philosophy
At Domaine Jean Dauvissat, the philosophy revolves around respecting and preserving the land while producing wines that reflect their unique terroir. The family’s commitment to organic farming and biodynamic practices ensures that the vines and soils flourish naturally, without the use of herbicides or insecticides since 2011. The estate’s meticulous vineyard management, combined with their decision to limit human intervention, allows the true character of the grapes to shine. This dedication to sustainability and purity is reflected in the wines, which are fermented using natural yeasts and bacteria, and aged in stainless steel to maintain their freshness and vibrancy. Domaine Jean Dauvissat’s approach is one of patience and respect, resulting in wines that are both complex and accessible, allowing the terroir to express itself fully in every bottle.
