Domaine Daniel Dampt 2023 Chablis "Beauroy" 1er Cru 750ml

A vaguely exotic nose reflects nuances of white peach and passion fruit on the pretty nose of iodine, quinine and tidal pool. There is once again fine volume and richness to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess a succulent mouthfeel while displaying good length on the nicely dry and youthfully austere finale. This is quite forward and a wine that should drink well on the younger side.

Daniel Dampt, continuing a 150-year family legacy in winemaking, has merged his vineyard with his father-in-law, Jean Defaix's. Their estate now spans 30 hectares, with 16 hectares dedicated to Chablis and 14 hectares to Chablis Premier Cru, notably in regions like Vaillons, Fourchaume, Cote de Lechet, Les Lys, and Beauroy. They've recently upgraded their cellar, now featuring stainless steel tanks and modern, efficient equipment. This upgrade has boosted their bottle production to 150,000 annually. Importantly, all of Daniel Dampt's wines are produced and bottled on-site, using grapes exclusively from their vineyards, ensuring distinct personality and quality in each wine. Daniel's sons, Vincent and Sebastien, are now actively involved in the family business, bringing fresh perspectives from their training stints in New Zealand and Australi
