Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru "La Forest" 2004

91 BH

91+ VM

Notes:

Tasting note: The best of these 1ers with complex and seductively perfumed ripe green fruit that is very backward and primary as it highlights the round, sweet, pure and superbly well detailed medium full flavors, all wrapped in a stony and notably focused finish of unusual intensity. This is a seriously impressive effort that should age well over the medium term and hold for a long time thereafter. This is definitely one to buy and cellar; in fact I added this to my personal cellar. Burghound 91

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 06
Pale, bright color. Perfumed, ineffably pure aromas of lemon, lime, powdered stone and spring flowers. Wonderfully pure, sharply delineated and gripping, with intense flavors similar to the aromas. Extremely unevolved and almost painful today, offering an uncanny combination of elegance and thrust. The concentration of flavor is amazing for a wine with 12.5% alcohol. (Dauvissat notes that the 2005 version is a full degree higher, which he emphasized has produced two very different styles of wine. I would buy and cellar either in a heartbeat.) 91(+?) points
