" I found it very interesting to find that Michel Bettane and Theirry Desseauve (of La Revue de Vin de France) stated in their 2002 guide that they feel the Les Preuses is the real gem in the Dauvissat cellars and that they prefer it to the Les Clos. While I love both wines (and cellar both in virtually every vintage), I have always given the nod to the Les Clos. Once again in 2000 I found the Les Clos to be even a step up from the beautiful Les Preuses, soaring from the glass in a complex mélange of green apples, lemon, grapefruit, wet stones, flinty soil tones, a bit of anise, vanillin oak and spring flowers in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and complex, with a rock solid core of minerally-tinged fruit, bracing acids, great length and intensity on the complex and palate-staining finish. This is a beautiful young Chablis that is as much solid mineral as it is fruit."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
