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.
