If you don't want to pay upwards of $200 for Vincent Dauvissat's 1er Cru Chablis bottlings, you would be wise to check out his bother-in-law's wines. Laurent Tribut learned his winemaking chops from Vincent's father Réné, and his wines were made at Dauvissat for many years. Laurent has his own facility now, and the wines are as close to Dauvissat in style and quality as one might expect, at roughly 1/3 the price.
Here's a very on point note from Vinous' Neal Martin on the 2023 Lechet:
"The 2023 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru, which is aged entirely in used oak barrels, has more of a marine influence on the nose, hints of oyster shell percolating through with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, an elegant and graceful Côte de Léchet with a harmonious, almost understated finish. Enjoy this over the next 5-7 years."
