I rarely pass up the opportunity to buy Dauvissat's Forest.
Along with Raveneau's Butteaux and Montée de Tonnerre, Dauvissat's Forest is one of the most sought after and ageworthy 1er Crus.
 |
In Dauvissat's hands, Forest brims with notes of saline-inflected crushed rocks, and bright citrus fruits. It's a mesmerizing wine that ages beautifully.
The 2015 is a bold Forest with tons of concentration and a decisive core of minerality. There's plenty of punch, presence, and Chablis' sea breeze minerality. It's a wine that seems to attack the senses from every angle.
I was really happy to have landed this modest parcel. The 2015 Forest has really flourished since its release. It has reached a beautiful place where it's simultaneously deep and finessed.
I should close with a warning that we'll likely have to allocate. Please give us your ideal order, and we'll try our best.

Burghound:
"This is aromatically even more complex if perhaps a bit less elegant with its pure if mildly exotic array of citrus, iodine, tidal pool, white peach and apple aromas. There is excellent punch to the full-bodied and muscular middle weight flavors that possess plenty of mouth coating sap that helps to buffer the moderately firm acid spine. This powerful effort should reward from 6 to 10 years of bottle age and is another in a long line of fine examples of La Forest from Vincent Dauvissat."
