Vincent Dauvissat crafts the Chablis Premier Cru La Forest 2022 Magnum on the limestone and marl soils of the southwest-facing slope on the Left Bank of the Serein. The stony composition of the parcel ensures superb drainage, while the cool nights of the 2022 vintage preserved precise aromatics and vibrant acidity. In the magnum format, the wine matures particularly slowly and evenly, deepening its texture and bringing the mineral tension of the terroir into even clearer focus.

The Chablis Premier Cru La Forest 2022 Magnum is vinified from selectively hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes. Following gentle pressing and spontaneous fermentation, the wine matures predominantly in seasoned wooden barrels, complemented by a portion in stainless steel tanks. Judicious use of oak supports the wine's structure and texture without masking its hallmark chalky minerality.

In the glass, the 2022 vintage displays a pale straw yellow with green reflections. The nose is pure and multilayered, shaped by lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, complemented by delicate floral notes, chalk, and subtle saline minerality. On the palate, the wine feels precise and structured, with succulent, seamlessly integrated fruit, vibrant acidity, and dense, limestone-driven minerality. The texture is elegant and supple, the finish long, focused, and marked by crystalline tension.

The Chablis Premier Cru La Forest 2022 Magnum has a long evolutionary trajectory ahead of it: the ripe fruit of the vintage will weave ever more closely with the stony backbone of the site, forging a thrilling contrast of density and chalky freshness.
