VINCENT DAUVISSAT PETIT CHABLIS 2017

Domaine Vincent Dauvissat is located in Chablis, in Burgundy. Founded in 1931 by Robert Dauvissat, the estate has been passed down from father to son for three generations. Robert's son, René, is the one who made the reputation of the Domaine. Vincent started working with his father, René, in 1976 and today runs the estate. Vincent Dauvissat operates around 12 hectares of meticulously maintained vines, using sustainable, organic and biodynamic methods, without certification. These vines (Vaillons, Séchets, Fôrets among the Premiers Crus and Preuses and Les Clos among the Grands Crus) are located on hillsides underpinned by Jurassic limestone. Vincent Dauvissat also produces a Villages Chablis and a Petit Chablis. 

Chardonnay grapes are naturally grown and harvested by hand. No destemming is carried out and the malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. Unconventional for Chablis, Dauvissat renounces stirring (mixing to increase contact with the lees). Vincent Dauvissat is also one of the few Chablis producers to use oak barrels during aging, although the barrels used are between 6 and 8 years old.

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
