"On my visit to Dauvissat his 1er Cru Preuses and Grand Cru Le Clos both earned the same high score, with Vaillons just a point behind, but I have chosen this wine to highlight because I loved the ultra-cool, almost vegetal streak to this, something reminiscent of grass or asparagus maybe, adding an extra dimension to a wine still utterly etched by its minerality, saltiness and beguiling austerity. Hugely decisive on the palate, it has enormous mineral concentration and streaking vegetal acidity that is so cool, so austere, but so brilliant in all senses of the word."
