The 2020 Vaillons combines the classic mineral backbone of Chablis with a richer, more generous fruit profile from the warm 2020 vintage. Critics noted aromas of orange oil, peach, jasmine, and nutmeg, leading to a satiny texture, vibrant acidity, and a long saline finish.

This is not the razor-thin, austere Chablis many people expect. Dauvissat uses some oak aging, giving the wine:

• More texture and weight
• Greater complexity
• Exceptional aging potential

The result is a wine that is simultaneously powerful and precise. Wine enthusiasts often describe Dauvissat's wines as having more body and depth than many traditional Chablis while still maintaining freshness and minerality.
