Created in 1931, Domaine René and Vincent Dauvissat has been managed from generation to generation by the Dauvissat family, the grandfather Robert, the father René and then Vincent who joined it in the 1970s with a constant concern for respecting the vineyard. The vineyard occupies 11 hectares in total and produces on average 70,000 bottles per year, covering all types of crus. The keyword which guides the entire process is strict respect for the terroir: vines are cultivated in a sustainable, responsible manner, yields are modest and new oak is used for fermentation and aging. As a result, the wines are fresh and with fine mineral content, with good aging potential (leave in the cellar for at least five years). Considered among the best producers of Chablis, Domaine René and Vincent Dauvissat produce reliable, good quality wine.

The cool climate of the Chablis appellation, coupled with Kimmeridgian soils composed of clay-limestone marls that are rich in marine fossils, produces wines with chiselled acidity and sharp minerality. The south- and southeast-facing lieu-dit of Les Fourneaux enjoys generous sunshine, which gives the wine a slightly richer structure than other Premier Crus, without ever betraying the tension so characteristic of Chablis. At Dauvissat, the grapes are harvested by hand, and spontaneous fermentations take place with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in old barrels in order to allow the terroir space to shine.
The wine is a pale yellow colour with hints of silver. The nose evokes lemon zest, wet chalk, hawthorn blossom and oyster shell. The palate is pure, direct and salty, with an almost chalky texture and a surprisingly persistent finish. This is a vibrant yet complex wine, patiently crafted over time.
