Top 5 Producer in Chablis - The Best Basic Chablis I've Had - Truly Stunning - Fabien Dauvissat

I Rarely Sell Entry Level Wines Because with My Direct Model, I Can Sell Better Wines for the Same Price.

I'm Selling This Wine Because Fabien Will One Day Be One of the Top 1-2 Producers in Chablis

These Wines Are Very Popular But There is Not Yet a Feeding Frenzy

 - There Will Be Some Day, So Buy Them While You Can

The cool kids in France are scooping up these wines.  And the cool kids on my list are drinking them with abandon.  Some day, these wines will be impossible to get and the #unicorn somms will be posting them on Instagram and the collectors will be creating their plans to secure their allocations.  But today, I'm still 5 years ahead of the curve and you can get them.

I don't usually sell $19.99 wines as the only wine in an offer because I like to have a wine from more prestigious terroir alongside it.  Some customers don't have a lot of entry level wines in their cellars.  But today, I am selling a $19.99 wine all by its lonesome.  And it's because everyone on the list from entry level buyer to DRC collector should buy it.  There is no case price because I cut margins to keep the price under $20 but if you can store it, you should buy a case.  It will age well.

I'm thrilled to offer the 2016 Jean Dauvissat Pere & Fils Chablis for $19.99 on a 4 pack. Fabien's wines have that extra special thing where if he eve made a Petit Chablis I'd sell it. Every quality level he hits it out of the park.  This is no normal $19.99 Chablis, this is, for my money, the best $19.99 Chablis out there, and for me, the best AOC Chablis in the game. It punches way way above its weight. 

I still cannot believe the quality of this wine. These are some of the most pure Chablis I have ever tasted. Revelatory is overused but is perfectly suited to my experience with Fabien Dauvissat's wines. Acidity. Terrific, mouthwatering and just incredible acidity. What is Chablis without acidity? I don't want to think about it. My note has many "wows" in it and the word classic as well. And pure. And mineral. But the thing that puts this wine over the edge for me is the mouthwatering quality combined with the purity. And this is just dumb good for $20. This is the only offer of this estate for Spring 2018 shipping as Fabien ages his wines longer than most in Chablis. 

Chablis as we all know has acid but Fabien coaxes stunningly ripe acidity and it is the trademark of his wines along with an opulent texture that makes them so utterly appealing. This is no knock back Chablis but something to contemplate and has the ability to age. 

By now you have all heard buy as much 2016 Chablis as you can get your hands on. It is a return to the classics. Stern minerality, big acids, intense structures and wonderful nervy fruit. For $19.99 I challenge anybody to find a village Chablis this good. This will not be released until mid September but these wines are a "thing" in France and other areas of Europe (we are always behind over here in the USA) and they sell out quickly and since he has been anointed by Stephen Tanzer and Vinous the urgency is intense. They were all spoken for almost as they were released. You cannot believe how hot he he is over there

I will offer the '16 1er crus next summer/fall when they are released for Fall 2018 shipping. 

Buy this wine. Just buy it and get in on the ground floor as there is a new Dauvissat in town.
