====== Background information ======
\\ 

  * **General information**: Dauvissat's fruit is harvested by hand and is not destemmed. Eighty percent of the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and 20% are barrel fermented. Selected yeasts are sometimes used. The elevage takes place in barrels, but only a few of which are new. The elevage lasts 8 to 18 months depending on the vineyard. Clos and Preuses generally get 16-18 months in barrel, but the US cuvees of Vineyard Brands generally are bottled after 13-14 months in barrel. See below. Dauvissat does not use batonnage and prefers to avoid fining the wines if they will clarify naturally. No information on sulfur usage or cork treatments is available at this time.
\\ **NOTE**: US consumers should be aware that, contrary to the statements of Vincent Dauvissat which have been repeated by various wine critics, including Burghound, the wines appearing under the R&V Dauvissat and Dauvissat-Camus labels are **NOT** identical. The US cuvee of the R&V Dauvissat wines (imported by Vineyard Brands) is apparently bottled at least 3 to 4 months before the european versions of the same wine and the Dauvissat-Camus labeled wines (imported by Grape Expectations and Classic Wine Imports.) The Vineyard Brands versions of the Dauvissat wines are typically bottled in November of the year following the vintage and are usually offered for sale in December of the year following the vintage. The European version of the same label and the Dauvissat-Camus wines spend an additional 3 to 4 months in oak and are usually bottled in February or March of the second calendar year following the vintage. Additionally, according to Steven Tanzer, in the past some of the Vineyard Brands' cuvees have been filtered, whereas the later bottled cuvees are generally not filtered. Be aware that the finished wines that have been reviewed in Burghound, IWC and Wine Advocate which have been tasted at the estate have had an additional 3 to 4 months in barrel (and may be unfiltered cuvees) and thus are not identical to the Dauvissat labeled wines bearing the Vineyard Brands strip labels. Whether the Vineyard Brands cuvees are better or worse than the others from a premox perspective remains to be determined. It is certainly arguable that less time in wood may mean that the wines are less likely to suffer premox in the long run. (N.B. note that the wines from Leflaive and Roulot spend only 12 months in barrel and the rest of their elevage in stainless steel). **But the important point is that Vineyard Brands is not "identical" to the others**.

  * **Chablis Clos**( Dec 2009-Feb 2010): four bottles all Dauvissat-Camus labels from the UK: every one of these bottles was far more mature and advanced than the others I have had (with US and UK Dauvissat labels). One bottle was incredible fully mature Chablis. A second was almost fully mature but not quite as exceptional.

  * **Chablis Clos**(16 Oct 2011): Another stellar showing. No sign of oxidation [Howard Horwitz]
  * **Chablis Clos**(June 2013): (375 ml) oxidized notes; not good...but not undrinkable. I'd say this is "slightly oxidized", as others describe [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
  * **Chablis Clos**(October 2013): (375 ml) forward and beautiful; can there be any explanation for such variation within the same case/cache than the seal? [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
  * **Chablis Forest**(Jul 2005): slightly oxydized, corresponding to Bernard Roths description [Odd Rydland]
  * **Chablis Forest**(Oct 2005): (375 ml) at first very advanced and odd with darkish color; later clearly oxidized [Stuart BH Niemtzow]

  * **Chablis Forest**(16 Jan 2010): (Dauvissat-Camus label) completely oxidized [Joe Floren]
  * **Chablis Forest**(16 Jan 2010): (Dauvissat-Camus label) not oxidized - light to med gold color; aged chablis nose... citrus, stone; decent acidity upon open and built over 3 hours to a peak, then was only mildly interesting after that. (MSaviage)
  * **Chablis Forest**(Apr 2010): (375 ml) Clearly oxidized [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
  * **Chablis Forest**(Jan 2011): Dauvissat-Camus label - dark gold color with "oxidized nose" right off the bat - but I wouldn't call this "premox" - rather, it's at a very mature state with still a complex structure and lots of acidity - the wine got better over 3 hours (MSaviage)
  * **Chablis Forest**(Feb 2011): Young. Light gold. Meyer lemon, burre blanc, sea shell, flowers. Honey note after a few hours, nut the next day. Outstanding. First from case. (PBortin)
  * **Chablis Forest**(June 2011): Dauvissat-Camus label - younger and fresher than the January bottle; mature nose but not pre-mox'd - great acidity and long finish (MSaviage)
  * **Chablis Forest**(June 2011): Dauvissat-Camus label - darkest color of the bottles I've had, totally shot with no spine or structure; poured down the drain (MSaviage)
  * **Chablis Forest**(June 2013): (375 ml) oxidized-- and corked..quite a treat! [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(16 Mar 2006) (European cuvee with yellow wax capsule)- not oxidized in the slightest, very youthful color and vibrant acidity with surprisingly compelling fruit and minerals--decade plus left [Don Cornwell]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(19 Nov 2006): (Dauvissat-Camus label) - not oxidised at all, super wine [P Sidebotham]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(Feb 2006) (European cuvee): beginning to oxidize- chicken stock and beeswax nose, soft finish with no grip or length. Still a good drink, but consume soon. [J. Gilman]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(Apr 2009): Stunningly good and did not fade throughout a long meal [David Honig]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(May 2009): (375 ml) young, vibrant and showed best the next a.m.,; IMO the best Chablis has to offer: the Preuses by Dauvissat. [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(Feb 2010): not badly oxidized, but darker than it should have been, very nutty and atypical for Chablis, but quite enjoyable [Alan Weinberg]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(8 Feb 2011): (Euro bottling with short yellow wax capsule)--fabulous wine, not oxidized. See 95-2000 Retrospecctive Notes. [Don Cornwell]
  * **Chablis Preuses**(6 Jun 2011): (Euro bottling with metal capsule purchased in France): not oxidized and truly impressive. [Don Cornwell]
  * **Chablis Preuses (**Feb 2012): (375 ml) Seemed oxidized from the start. Next day in open decanter much better, though still odd. See Alan Weinberg's description from 2/10. Clearly something wrong. Cork extremely rigid, FWIW. Great example of a Preuses when left in open decanter for 1/5 days. So, this was really "reduced" , not oxidized..\\  Caveat emptor!! [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
  * **Chablis Sechet** (April 2009): not oxidized and drinking beautifully [droch]
  * **Chablis Vaillons**(Feb 2006): medium yellow color, tart acidity, minerals, plenty of life left, no oxidation [HCSharf]

  * **Chablis "Les Clos"** (Sep. 2018 – ): 2 btls oxidized + 3 btls not oxidized. The good btls were brilliant, slightly understated, but glorious examples of top notch grand cru Chablis. Their youthful green color, fresh nose, & sensational palate all suggested a wine that is nearing its plateau of maturity with at least 4 years of life ahead. From a lot of 6 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Apr. 2016. [Rayner Cheung]
  * **Chablis "Les Clos"** (Sep. 2014–Feb 2020): I purchased 36 bottles of this and have 2 bottles remaining. Six had the US Vineyard Brands labels (3-4 mos less barrel aging). Six had the Dauvissat-Camus labels (US version). The rest had French tax capsules. Over the last five years I have had one bottle which was oxidized and all of the rest were quite sound. This is really remarkable in comparison with my past experience with Dauvissat and the 2008 and 2009 Clos, where even my initial bottles were oxidized. [Don Cornwell].

\\ 
===== 2009 =====

  * **Chablis Clos** (Feb 2014): Vincent Dauvissat label. Colour a little advanced, fino sherry and walnuts beginning to go rancid on the nose. Palate disjointed and not very pleasant. Very disappointing as it is the first premoxed Dauvissat grand cru I have encountered (Tony Free, Australia)

  * **Chablis "Les Preuses"** (Sep. 2018 – ): 8 btls not oxidized + 1 btl oxidized. The good btls were magnificent, ranging from slowly evolving to quite forward. Intriguing elements of orange blossom water & rosewater in the nose, & a touch of muskiness in some btls. From a lot of 12 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in May 2015. [Rayner Cheung]
