Chablis la Forest 2012 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

There is a blue crab-like alliance of salinity, iodine, and hidden sweetness in Dauvissat's 2012 Chablis La Forest (tasted from cask) that certainly has its mouthwatering counterpart in the scallops evoked by the corresponding Sechet; and this is detectable already in the nose, where there is also a faint and intriguing fungal note, plus the sort of chalk dust, fusil oils, smoke and fresh lemon that could almost begin losing their mystery for you if you-re tasting Chablis for days at a time (how can these scents and flavors come from grapes?) simply because they are part and parcel of this region-s Kimmeridgian connection. This (in more than one sense) polished performer should continue to impress through at least 2020.
