A Family Lineage Since 1931

The estate was founded in the 1930s when Robert Dauvissat began bottling under his own name. René took over, and Vincent officially assumed leadership in 1989. Three generations dedicated to Chablis excellence, carrying a heritage rooted in respect for the terroir.

Rare Terroirs and Pure Whites

Around ~12 ha planted, spanning Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Crus (La Forest, Vaillons, Séchet, Montmains) and Grands Crus (Les Preuses, Les Clos). Old vines on Kimmeridgian limestone (marl and fossil-rich chalk) give crystalline and vibrant wines.

Grape variety: Chardonnay (100% of all Chablis wines).

Style: Precise Minerality and Terroir Identity

Wines are renowned for their purity, freshness and saline tension. Fermentation takes place in tank and old oak barrels, followed by aging in neutral oak (often 6–8 years or older), with minimal intervention and little to no bâtonnage, preserving citrus, floral, and iodine notes with a racy acidity.

Philosophy: Living Soils & Artisan Winemaking

Organic farming with biodynamic-inspired practices (introduced around 2002), low yields, hand harvesting, indigenous yeasts. Long aging on lees in neutral old barrels with minimal sulfur, letting the terroir speak for itself.
