2018 Dauvissat-Camus La Forest: Premier Cru Chablis
The 2018 René et Vincent Dauvissat-Camus La Forest is a Premier Cru Chablis from one of the appellation’s most highly regarded producers. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Premier Cru vineyard La Forest and combines concentration with the distinct minerality for which classic Chablis is known.
The 2018 vintage yielded ripe grapes and full-bodied wines. At Dauvissat, this ripeness is combined with structure, freshness, and a distinct expression of terroir. After several years of bottle aging, La Forest begins to develop additional complexity without losing its characteristic mineral character.
Chablis often reveals its character most clearly when you give the wine some time. La Forest is a Premier Cru where Chardonnay, limestone-rich soils, and the craftsmanship of Dauvissat-Camus come together. The 2018 vintage combines ripe fruit with mineral tension. Pour it into a large glass, let the initial chill fade, and savor how citrus, apple, and subtle notes of aging interplay. A wonderful pairing with scallops or refined fish dishes.
Aroma & taste
Aromas of citrus, ripe apple, and white stone fruit are combined with floral, spicy, and distinctly mineral nuances. With bottle aging, more complex notes develop while the wine retains its vibrancy and chalky character. The finish is long and refined.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve at around 10–12°C. Excellent with oysters, lobster, scallops, shellfish, refined fish dishes, poultry, and soft cheeses. If desired, let the wine breathe in the glass for a while to allow it to fully open up.
