Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons Jean Dauvissat (Domaine) 2018
Based in Milly, in the heart of the Chablis region, Domaine Jean Dauvissat was founded in 1955 with a simple guiding principle: to let the terroir express itself. This commitment translates into meticulous plot-by-plot work, from vineyard to cellar. The 24 hectares are divided into 55 individual plots, offering a mosaic of expressions across the appellation. This fragmentation allows the estate to craft wines that embody the classic Chablis style, shaped by limestone soils rich in fossilised oyster sediments, while also capturing the distinct character of both banks of the Serein valley. Three of the region’s four appellation tiers are represented: Petit Chablis, Chablis and Chablis Premier Cru, including Côte de Léchet, Fourchaume, Montmains, Homme Mort and Vaillons.
Fabien Dauvissat took over the estate in 2011, immediately eschewing herbicides and insecticides. Biodynamic practices were introduced in 2018, and the estate was awarded its organic certification in 2022.
In the cellar, after manual harvests and careful sorting, vinification is deliberately low-intervention, relying on native yeasts. Ageing is relatively long, lasting between one and two years, sulphur is used sparingly, and the wines are lightly filtered before bottling.
