    Product description

    The Domaine was established in 1955 by Jean Dauvissat in the quaint village of Milly, a mere six-minute drive from the heart of Chablis. Today, it is helmed by Fabien Dauvissat, Jean’s grandson, who has taken on the roles of owner and winemaker with a clear vision. Upon assuming control, Fabien embarked on a mission to transition the estate’s farming practices from conventional methods to organic. Spanning over 23 hectares distributed across seven communes within the Chablis region, the estate has embraced organic and biodynamic viticulture to capture the truest expression of each plot.

    The Fourchaume vineyard, celebrated as the most renowned of the Chablis Premiers Crus, enjoys a prime location. Positioned as an extension of the Grands Crus hillside, it shares the same advantageous southwest exposure, ensuring excellent ripeness even in challenging vintages. This wine exhibits an exquisite roundness, perfectly balanced by the distinctive minerality characteristic of Chablis.

    Noted for its green and flinty profile, Fourchaume reveals vibrant flavors of lemon, apple, and orange zest. The complexity is further enhanced by the limestone minerality, while a delicate hint of vanillin oak adds a layer of subtle sophistication.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Domaine Jean Dauvissat Père & Fils

    Based in Milly, Domaine Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils owns various vineyards across the Chablis appellation so they can produce wine with the perfect balance between minerality and fruit. They follow a strict vineyard management, using targeted pruning, a closely controlled de-budding and strict fertilisation according to the relevant vines. In the cellar they aim to produce a traditional Chablis style, where no wood is used. They also age their wine for a considerable time on their lees in modern stainless steel tanks before being bottled, so they have time to develop. The results are impressive. View our selection.

    Vineyards & Winemaking

    The 22 hectares of vineyards spread over 53 parcels of vines and are planted on hillside sites on “argilo-calcaire” soil, sitting on the famous Kimmeridgian limestone that makes Chablis so unique. Vines are between 20 to 65 years of age. The wines are traditionally bottled 18 to 20 months after harvest.

    Wines Produced

    Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons, Montmains, Les Sechets and Fourchaume.
