Description
The 2022 Chablis Village offers yellow fruit, pithy pear, and light waxy aromas on the nose, a considerable step up from the Petit Chablis at the moment. The palate is very refined and pure, with lemon thyme and hints of chai. It is a little spicier than I remember but beautifully controlled—a lovely Chablis Village.
When I visited this year, as I expected, like almost every other vigneron, Vincent Dauvissat was toiling out in the vines, spraying to protect them during a rare spell of dry weather after weeks of showers. Here, they started picking the 2022s on September 11. There was some mildew and rot at the beginning of harvest, which were sorted out at reception. The 2022s were bottled slightly earlier than other vintages. With respect to the 2023s, there is a little less acidity than in other years, but yields are better than in 2022.
Drink 2027 - 2035

Critics reviews
From a parcel that sits on the opposing hillside from La Forest.
This is aromatically similar to the Petit Chablis but with just a bit more Chablis typicity. There is also better-underlying tension and detail that suffuses the medium-bodied flavours that possess slightly more refinement, all wrapped in a more mineral-driven and drier finale. This is excellent for its level and a wine that could also be enjoyed young or held for up to a decade. Buy it.
Drink from 2029 onward
The 2022 Chablis exhibits scents of white peach, oyster shell, and white flowers mingled with subtle hints of nutmeg and youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's concentrated and racy, concluding with a long, precise finish.

Green apple fruit with a touch of bitter pear skin adding bite. Dauvissat has four parcels, with the largest opposite the premier cru of Forêts. It is a great 'straight' Chablis with a super-fine texture to go along with the ripeness and lingering acidity.
