Winemaker Notes
A very ripe nose, the most of the premier crus, with butterscotch and caramel scents. On the palate, baked apple and pineapple with some hazelnuts. Very complex for such a young wine; a warm super ripe finish of juicy white peach at its perfect point of ripeness.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A striking young wine, Dauvissat's brilliant 2020 Chablis 1er Cru La Forest unfurls in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, orange oil, pear, oyster shell, freshly baked bread and smoke, framed by a deft touch of reduction. Medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's taut and concentrated, with racy acids, chalky structuring and a long, searingly mineral finish. Recent years have delivered so many brilliant renditions of La Forest that it's hard to pick a favorite between the likes of 2008, 2014, 2017 and 2019, but the 2020 is certainly a worthy entrant into the competition, and it's worth a special effort to seek out.

Jasper Morris
Pale in colour and very backward on the nose. Blue clays are the key to this terroir, Vincent tells us. Now the perfume starts to emerge. Lovely balance with more depth of white fruit. Real detail and clarity. Another immaculate Forest.
