Davaz Chardonnay Fläscher Graubünden 2023 - 0,75l

Davaz Chardonnay 2023 is a dry Swiss Chardonnay from Graubünden, with elderflower, green apple and a cool almond finish for seafood and white meat at 13.5%. This is the Davaz style in a clean frame. Sustainable Bündner Herrschaft fruit meets limestone and clay. Oak barrels add polish. Stainless steel keeps the apple scent crisp. Open it for fish, shellfish or a slice of soft cheese.

About the Wine
Davaz Chardonnay 2023 comes from Bündner Herrschaft fruit in Graubünden, grown under sustainable certification on limestone and clay. Those two soils show as a tactile detail in this bottle. The wine carries a cool green apple line, then a softer elderflower scent. The dry 13.5% profile suggests Chardonnay picked with enough ripeness for breadth. In a 750 ml bottle, it feels shaped for the table from the start, with freshness sitting close to the fruit. The apple note feels crisp after the wine warms for a few minutes in the glass. In the cellar, Davaz ages this Chardonnay in oak barrels and stainless steel. The combination is felt in the way the wine moves from polished apple to a faint green almond edge. Oak sits as a quiet frame around the fruit. Stainless steel keeps the elderflower note clear and cool. The aroma stays on elderflower, apple and green almond. This 2023 release has a dry balance, and the elderflower scent stays clean through the middle. The 2023 bottling finishes dry, with a clean almond-skin grip on the last sip.

Tasting Notes
The first smell is elderflower with a fruit-sweet edge, followed by cold green apple, crushed apple skin and a faint herbal coolness that feels very Davaz in this Graubünden bottling. On the palate, the 2023 Davaz Chardonnay feels dry and lightly creamy, with 13.5% alcohol giving a rounded middle and enough weight for white meat at dinner. A green almond tone appears near the finish, close to fresh almond skin, and it adds savoury detail to the elderflower and apple notes as the glass warms. Oak barrels and stainless steel leave different marks here, a polished surface and a cool core, then the aftertaste returns to apple peel and almond-skin grip with a dry final line. Drink 2024-2028.

Food Pairing
For fish choose baked trout with lemon butter, green herbs and boiled potatoes, and notice how the green apple note cuts through the butter. For seafood, scallops in a light cream sauce suit the wine’s polished oak texture, especially when a little parsley or chive keeps the dish fresh. Roast chicken with tarragon and pan juices is a strong choice for the 13.5% dry palate, since the wine has enough middle for the meat. For a Bündner table, serve capuns in herb cream with a mild soft cheese on the side, then the almond-skin finish has something savoury to catch. A soft cheese with a bloomy rind also suits this specific bottle, since the almond note meets the rind’s earthy edge.

Producer
Davaz is based in Fläsch in the Bündner Herrschaft, the compact Swiss wine district of Graubünden, where village names sit close together and vineyard parcels change quickly from one slope to the next. The concrete trait to notice here is transparency: for this 2023 Chardonnay, the estate states sustainable certification and limestone-clay soils, plus dry balance and ageing in both oak barrels and stainless steel on the wine data. Those details make the bottle feel traceable before the cork is pulled, and they match the direct way Davaz presents this Graubünden white to a drinker choosing between Alpine Chardonnay styles. In the glass the same exactness appears as elderflower, apple and green almond, with oak handled through texture and stainless steel keeping a cool apple line in view from the first pour. Davaz also keeps the alcohol at 13.5%, a measured level for Chardonnay that gives the mid-palate some curve and leaves the finish dry with a marked almond-skin edge after the apple fruit has faded. For this producer the interesting signature is printed on the technical sheet and felt in the mouth: Swiss Chardonnay from Bündner Herrschaft with sustainable vineyards, limestone and clay soils and a cellar split between wood and steel for this exact 750 ml bottling.
