Jean et Sebastien Dauvissat Chablis Montmains 1er Cru 2014
$29.95 on 3 or more...for 1er cru Chablis!
YES! Give us the brilliant acidity of 2014 in Chablis --- give us the beautiful streak of minerality and stone fruits, exotic lemon and Honeycrisp apple. Wow! A huge overdeliverer!! SUPER limited though -- what a score for a 6-pack UNDER $210 SHIPPED! Don’t miss!
It’s rare to find a Premier Cru bottling (Montmains, in this case) THIS GOOD and priced like this. The moment we tasted this we snagged as many cases as we could, although that’s not going to last long. Savvy Burg-philes know there are more than a few Dauvissat’s in the region --- Sebastien Dauvissat, having taken over the Domaine after his father’s untimely death, has been on a big qualitative upswing the last few years. We LOVE this brisk 2014 from Montmains, of which the family owns 1.5 hectares. Montmains' soil has a higher percentage of clay in the mix which produces a more full-bodied wine, strict and structured, marked by earthier notes on the nose and palate to complement the racy freshness.
