2022 Chablis, La Forest, 1er Cru, Vincent Dauvissat, Burgundy

Description

The 2022 Chablis Fôrets 1er Cru was promising from barrel last year. Now, in bottle, it has held on to that complex, mineral-led bouquet, with hints of chamomile in the background. The palate is very well balanced with a silver thread of acidity, like the Montée de Tonnerre. It is quite understated towards the finish, suggesting that this will benefit from a few years in bottle. Plenty of energy, but patience is required.

Drink 2030 - 2050
