La Forest has all the Dauvissat hallmarks: citrus precision, oyster-shell minerality, quiet power and the kind of tension that feels carved rather than made. It opens with lemon peel, crisp pear, green apple and white peach, then deepens into orange oil, fresh bread, smoke, wet stone and a faint honeyed edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"923\"\u003eThe palate is taut, concentrated and beautifully controlled, with racy acidity running through layers of orchard fruit, citrus, chalk and saline mineral depth. There is texture here, but no heaviness. The wine feels coiled, serious and long, with a finish that is all sea spray, stone and slow-building intensity. Already magnificent, but this is really a bottle for the cellar or a very special table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1231\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"937\"\u003eFor when\u003c\/strong\u003e you want Chablis at its most precise, famous and quietly thrilling.\u003cbr data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1008\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/strong\u003e oysters, crab, lobster, turbot, scallops, roast chicken, Comté, or gougères before dinner.\u003cbr data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1138\"\u003eIf this wine were…\u003c\/strong\u003e a building, it would be a limestone chapel by the sea: austere, beautiful and built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1941\"\u003eVincent Dauvissat is one of the defining names of Chablis, a tiny, fiercely sought-after domaine whose wines have become benchmarks for finesse, longevity and mineral precision. The family has been growing vines in Chablis for generations, with bottling under the family name beginning in 1931. La Forest is the domaine’s most important Premier Cru holding, 3.7 hectares within Forêts, part of the wider Montmains sector, and is always bottled separately under Dauvissat’s historic spelling. With meticulous vineyard work, subtle old-oak élevage and a style built on patience rather than show, Dauvissat remains one of the great touchstones for ageworthy white Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55763775062401,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2020Chablis1erCruLaForest_VincentDauvissat.png?v=1780590176","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2020-chablis-1er-cru-la-forest-vincent-dauvissat","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
