Discover Domaine Jean Dauvissat

The Domaine Jean Dauvissat, located in the heart of the village of Chablis, is a family-run estate now led by Fabien Dauvissat. This domaine stands out for its rigorous and environmentally respectful approach, including a transition to organic farming and meticulous care for the soil life.

Terroir and Characteristics

The vineyard extends over a diverse range of terroirs, including parcels of Chablis, renowned Premier Crus such as Vaillons, Montmains, and Fourchaume, as well as Grand Crus. The Kimmeridgian subsoil, rich in fossils, imparts a unique mineral character. The vines benefit from a cool, temperate climate encouraging slow, optimal ripening.

Wine Profile

Winemaking favors extended aging on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity while preserving the natural mineral tension. Wines from Domaine Jean Dauvissat are admired for their crystalline purity, notes of citrus, white flowers, and gunflint, offering a fresh and saline expression of Chablis Chardonnay.

Food Pairings

These wines pair excellently with fresh seafood, asparagus risotto, grilled fish, and soft cheeses like Brie or Crottin de Chavignol. Their freshness and minerality make them ideal companions for light and refined cuisine.
