Domaine Daniel Dampt (Chablis)
Picked on 17–18 September, before the rain.
Taut, tangy herbs, grapefruit and a touch of cedar, softened by the creamy effect of the lees. Marked acidity is balanced by the texture, which is both creamy and has a slight grip. A tight, super-crisp wine, but in balance, with a mouth-watering finish. (JH)
Picked on 17–18 September, before the rain.
Smells a little riper and less herbal than the Lys. And yet more obviously stony/mineral. Richer on the palate, too, with a lovely grip in the texture. A big step up in intensity compared with the Lys. High acid, just in balance. (JH)
They have reduced the oak influence from this vintage – only half the wine is fermented in oak and, after malolactic conversion, they moved it all to tank.
Herby, cedary citrus – lots of minerally stone-dust, too. Firm and rich-fruited on the palate, even with the very high acidity. Good balance in a lighter vintage with the richness of Bougros still present, despite the vintage. (JH)
Domaine Sébastien Dampt (Chablis)
Cool and fresh. Very salivatory and a little salty. Very long. Good stuff! GV (JR)
Nose a little more intense than Les Lys. Very edgy and youthful. Promising rather than actual. GV (JR)
Richer than the Lys and Côte de Léchet on the nose and then more chiselled and youthful on the palate. (JR)
