One of the Dauvissat specialities, the La Forest is a triumph in 2021. From seven small parcels, the total site is less than 1ha with average vine age more than 40 years. Intriguing, slightly smoky nose, highly distinctive and different to others in the range. Plenty of power, ripe stone fruit flavours, zesty citrus acidity with a herbaceous edge adding an extra dimension. Definitely of grand cru quality.

The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest is a young classic, mingling scents of sweet citrus oil and peach with notions of white flowers, struck match, bee pollen and youthful reduction in an incipiently complex bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, it's concentrated, taut and incisive, with a long, mineral finish.

La Forest's Noble Resilience

For La Forest, the devastating April frosts of 2021 reduced yields to nearly half of normal, but the old vines of this Premier Cru proved resilient. Dauvissat's patient approach through the cool, wet summer and precise harvest timing allowed the grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness while retaining their characteristic minerality. The resulting La Forest shows exceptional concentration and purity, with the cool vintage amplifying the vineyard's signature profound mineral expression.
