The 2023 Chablis Fôrets 1er Cru competes with the Montée de Tonnerre as Dauvissat's finest Premier. This has the same degree of mineralité and tension on the nose, but it's perhaps a tad more open at the moment. The palate has exquisite balance. The 2023 is just a tiny bit more tropical than the Montée with hints of apricot and white peach. This is very persistent on the finish. It is superb.
