The Dauvissat you will all want when it’s too late - Could Florent Dauvissat be the next great winemaker to bear that famous surname? NEAL MARTIN

I do feel that the average quality at this domaine is slowly rising. The petit Chablis here has always been a standout wine – but these days, it’s not alone! BILL NANSON

As to vintage style for the 2022 whites, for the average wine I would invoke 2015, 2018 or 2020 but, and this is key in my view,
without the excess alcohol levels. This renders them better balanced than the 2015s or the 2018s and on par with the 2020s. By contrast, the best 2022 whites could reasonably be compared with the better 2017s with perhaps a bit more mid-palate flesh. Most of the best 2022 whites should be ready within 8 to 12 years and the average example will likely be drinking well by ages 4 to 8. However, because they’re generally so well-balanced, they should actually drink reasonably well young too if that’s your preference.
To my way of thinking, perhaps the best attribute of the finest 2022 whites is just how refreshing they are. In sum, the best 2022s incorporate a bit of everything without too much of anything. BURGHOUND
