Tightly wound Chablis premier cru demanding cellar time to unlock brilliance.

Wound tight as a spring. Piercing citrus cuts through briny minerality. Wet limestone dominates early, followed by saline finish that lingers endlessly. This 2017 needs serious patience - five years minimum. Classic Dauvissat precision meets La Forest's distinctive iodine character. Steel-edged acidity provides backbone for decades. Pure, uncompromising Chablis that rewards the patient. Profound terroir expression in every sip.
