Vincent Dauvissat, Chablis, La Forest 2015
Description
93-95 points Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chablis 1er Cru la Forest has one of the more mineral-driven aromatic profiles from Dauvissat this year: very focused with granite and flint-like aromas emerging from the glass. The palate is extremely well balanced, tightly wound at first with outstanding spiciness and mineralité, fanning out wonderfully with a quite compelling finish that lingers in the mouth. This is so cohesive and tensile, the persistence just one of the best you will find this vintage. (NM) (8/2016)
94 points Decanter
Ripe and charming, intense and lifted. Showing purity of fruit and clarity, although the aromas are currently quite subdued. Racy and beautifully poised, with a very long finish. Drinking Window 2018 - 2028 (2/2017)
93 points Vinous
Pale, bright yellow. Initially mute nose grudgingly gives up scents of citrus fruits, rosemary and earth. Sappy and incisive in the mouth, with penetrating citrus-dominated flavors joined by mineral-driven salinity on the long, pure finish. A terrific premier cru in the making, this Forest really stains the palate. (ST)(7/2016)

I love Vincent Dauvissat’s La Forest and the 2015 is an absolutely classic version! The bouquet is pure, nascently complex and very expressive, wafting from the glass in a fine, fine blend of flinty, wet stone minerality, pear, lime, a whisper of the coming beeswax, candied lemon peel and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and rock solid at the core, with an open attack, an outstanding sense of reserve at the core, bright acids and excellent lift and cut on the very long, zesty finish. This is fairly open in personality today, but it has additional layers of complexity to offer to those with a bit of patience. 2016- 2040. 93+ (11/2016)
