Tasting note: If you want more focus and delineation, and less power without sacrificing the opulence and chewy, fleshy character of this vintage, check out the 1992 Chablis-Les Clos. Although low in acidity, it is long and rich, with an explosive finish. It displays a penetrating bouquet of minerals combined with citrus aromas, and apple/orange-like fruit. Full-bodied, rich, and more structured than any of the other grand crus from Dauvissat, this is a full-throttle Chablis for drinking over the next 7-8 years. There are no secrets in the cellars of Dauvissat - impeccable viticultural techniques, modest yields, barrel fermentation, with ten months aging in cask produce lusty, rich, spicy wines. Dauvissat's 1992s look to be as exciting as his 1989s and 1986s. (91pts. Robert Parker)
