2023 Sebastien Dampt Vaillons 1er Cru Chablis

92 Points - Tim Atkins MW

92 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
All comes from Beugnons, planted in 1959 and 1962. Possibly the palest but clearly the most concentrated in bouquet. Very disciplined though still with the generosity of the vintage, a suggestion of honeysuckle but only at the fringe. Fine energy at the finish. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Jun 2024.

Background Information:
Sébastien Dampt is a rising star of Chablis and a new producer to the BBR fold. He is part of a dynasty that has been making wine in the region for over 150 years. Having studied in Beaune and gained experience around France, he returned to work for the family domaine in 2005 alongside father Daniel and brother Vincent.

In 2007 he took 7 ha of family land and created an estate in his own name based in Milly to west of Chablis. Split 50/50 between Village wine and Premier Cru, the wines are all vinified and raised in stainless steel to preserve the classic, steely appeal much loved of this venerable region.
