Vincent Dauvissat: Base and Vineyard Origins
This is a domaine based in Chablis. The Burgundy Wine Board’s producer list includes not only classified white Chablis but also red Irancy.
Here we introduce both the white and red wines from Dauvissat, organizing what can be learned from a list and what needs to be researched via technical documentation.
Questions for this course
If a producer is based in Chablis, are all their wines white?
Before you start reading, briefly jot down your thoughts. You will rephrase them at the end.

The list includes both white and red.
Dauvissat's producer information includes Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Grand Cru, and Irancy. The address of the winery cannot be directly equated to the origin or color of all their wines.
Distinguish between vineyard names as well.
Les Clos and Les Preuses are listed as grands crus, while La Forêt and Vaillons appear as premiers crus. Instead of grouping all as 'Dauvissat Chablis,' by recording the vineyard name and classification, the wine being compared becomes clearer.
Research the red winemaking process separately.
In the list, what can be confirmed is the inclusion of Irancy as a red. The precise blend of varieties or percentage of whole clusters cannot be determined from this list alone. Do not reuse white winemaking information for reds; locate technical documentation for the specific vintage.

Interpreting Dauvissat documents: Base and vineyard origins
Compare the stated conditions in the documentation. Numbers specifying vintages should be treated as information for that specific year.
This summarizes materials published by producers, regional groups, and importers. Each source includes the publisher and the date the material was checked.

| Base location | Chablis | Not all labels indicate the region of origin. |
| Chablis Whites | Village-level, Premier Cru, Grand Cru | Record the vineyard name and classification. |
| Red wines of Irancy | Listed in the regional association directory | Check blend and winemaking with additional documentation |

What can’t be determined by the producer’s base?
They also make Irancy, even though they are based in Chablis.
Which vineyards are listed as grands crus?
The list distinguishes by classification.
How do you learn about the blend for Irancy?
The producer list does not specify individual blends. The list is a resource for learning about wine types and vineyard names, but it does not explain yearly blends or how Irancy grapes are handled. Confirmed red labels and unexplored production methods are presented separately.
