Domaine Jean Dauvissat: A Family-Owned Winery in Chablis

Domaine Jean Dauvissat Père et Fils is a family-run winery in Milly, in the heart of the Chablis appellation. The estate bottles several appellations, ranging from Petit-Chablis to Chablis Premier Cru, offering pure, crisp, and mineral-driven Chardonnays.

An Organic and Biodynamic Vineyard

The vineyard is managed without herbicides or insecticides, using organic farming methods and, since 2018, biodynamic practices. Here, the Chardonnay expresses the terroir of Chablis: limestone soils, freshness, finesse, and salinity.

Winemaking and Aging

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and sorted upon arrival. The wines ferment with native yeasts. Aging lasts one to two years depending on the cuvée, primarily in tanks on fine lees, sometimes with a light touch of oak. This results in Chablis wines that are straightforward, precise, and food-friendly.

The Estate’s Appellations

• Petit-Chablis: a fresh and lively Chardonnay, best enjoyed young.
• Chablis: the appellation’s benchmark Chardonnay, taut and briny.
• Chablis Premier Cru: greater depth, with vineyards such as Côte de Léchet, Vaillons, Fourchaume, Montmains, and Homme Mort.

Food and Wine Pairings

A Chablis pairs well with oysters, seafood, fish, goat cheese, and Burgundian cuisine, such as escargots or chicken in cream sauce. Serve it between 10 and 12 °C.
