Vincent Dauvissat - Petit Chablis - 2018

There is unusually good Chablis typicity in the context of the very ripe 2018 vintage present on the fresh, expressive and relatively cool nose that speaks primarily of white orchard fruit, mineral reduction, citrus confit and quinine nuances. There is both fine richness and volume to the delicious middle weight flavors that possess better than average mid-palate density before concluding in a nicely dry bitter lemon-inflected finish where the only reproach is a hint of warmth. This isn't elegant but it's very Petit Chablis in character and for my taste, it's just about at its peak but another 1 to 3 years should be additive. 88 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
