Rene et Vincent Dauvissat-Camus

Rene Dauvissat is the “other” cult producer and godfather of Chablis (along with Francois Raveneau). Founded in 1931, Dauvissat-Camus is a traditional Domaine where the philosophy of winemaking has remained the same for decades. Vincent started helping his father in 1976 and later took over the running of the Domaine. With 11 hectares of vineyards, the Dauvissats have sections in two Grand Cru vineyards (Les Clos and Les Preuses) and four Premier Cru sites (Sechet, Vaillons, Montmains, and La Forest). La Forest (which is a section of the larger Montmains vineyard) is often considered to produce wines of Grand Cru quality level. Dauvissat also produce Chablis village and Petit Chablis.

Grapes are whole bunch pressed, fermentation is with indigenous yeast and is followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation, after which the wines mature in 6-8 year old Nevers oak barrels for minimum a year. Wines can be bottled as Vincent Dauvissat or Domaine Dauvissat-Camus, the latter denotes wider family holdings farmed and made by Dauvissat.

This is an exceptional domain from which even the standard Chablis appellation is a sought-after commodity.
