"This could be from nowhere other than Chablis... Excellent"

There's not much that needs to be said about 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.

Dauvissat's 2023 La Forest is a great example of the wine. Everyone who has tasted Dauvissat's 2023 has said how brilliant they are. They've called out Forest in particular. It's intense with punchy chablisienne minerality. 

I'll wrap this up by saying that Dauvissat nailed this vintage. This is a modest parcel. We suggest that you get your orders in early.

Burghound: "This could be from nowhere other than Chablis and while this is aromatically less elegant than the MdT, at present it's more complex with beautiful layering of various white orchard fruit, citrus zest and just shucked oysters. As is virtually always the case with this wine, there is both excellent volume and mid-palate concentration while preserving ample power and minerality that really seem to build on the smoky, long and impeccably well-balanced finale. Note however that this is clearly built-to-age and a wine that's going to need at least 5 to 7 first. Excellent."
