The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The Dampt brothers - Emmanuel and Eric - invested in the Chablis region more than thirty years ago. Their goal was to create wines with a strong identity in the three valleys of the Yonne, Serein and Armançon rivers. Their wide range of terroirs delivers wines of precision and accuracy, with a strong regularity. The estate is one of the most beautiful family-run businesses in Burgundy.
Wine The 2021 White Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre reveals all the fullness of its terroir, perfectly served by an ageing in stainless steel vats, with only 10% of wood. The pure nose, with chalky and fresh butter notes, shows a mineral and delicate register. The ample frame expresses a certain generosity while preserving an acidulous wake which balances the whole. It is still a very young wine, well balanced with fine bitters, to be decanted or waited for a few more years. Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations 100% in stainless steel tanks. Aged on lees for 10 months.
