[A note on labeling: per the Domaine, the wines bottled under the "Vincent Dauvissat" and "Dauvissat-Camus" labels are identical. In some cases, however, previous releases of Vineyard Brands-imported US bottlings of the wines had been bottled in the autumn following the harvest, while both the "Dauvissat-Camus"-labeled wines as well as otherwise European "Vincent Dauvissat"-labeled wines were bottled the following spring. In some cases, the Vineyards Brands-imported US wines may have been filtered - a practice which has since been discontinued - while the other, later-bottled wines were not.]

"The 2002 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos was served blind by Vincent Dauvissat after I had tasted through his 2015s. All I can say is thank you. I was slightly out regarding the vintage, suggesting it might be a 2001. It has a deceptively rich and honeyed bouquet, with hints of pralines and even marzipan. There is beautiful delineation here, so wonderfully focused and lavish. The palate follows suits with a viscous honeyed entry, deeply layered with grilled almond and dried honey notes that are offset by a killer line of acidity. This is utterly sublime and my only regret is that I could not stay and watch it blossom in bottle. Well, I hope Vincent enjoyed it for his supper."
