Two exceptional Chablis from a vintage producing wines with “steeliness, linearity and salinity” according to Neal Martin of Vinous, these 2021 selections from Domaine Sebastien Dampt are beautifully crafted to express their terroir, revealing bright, layered fruit with crisp minerality and well defined texture that will appeal to lovers of classically styled Chablis looking for an outstanding value.
Part of a Chablis dynasty that has been making wine for over 150 years, Sebastien Dampt established his own Domaine in Milly under the same roof as his father and his brother in 2007, quickly becoming known as a rising star in the region for his precisely crafted white wines. Spread over 8.5 hectares, Sebastien’s vineyards boast the chalky, Kimmeridgean soil typical of the region, the mix of varied exposures conferring richness and depth uncommon in a village level cuvee. Sourced from several parcels with vines ranging up to 45 years, the appealing 2021 Domaine Sebastien Dampt Chablis was aged around 10 months in stainless steel, yielding bright, citrusy fruit balanced by fine beaded acidity and good length. Sourced from the estate’s 1.7 hectares of Chablis premier cru vines averaging 60 years of age, the richly concentrated 2021 Domaine Sebastien Dampt Chablis Les Vaillons was aged in concrete egg to enhance lees contact without imparting any oak character, yielding aromatic, palate-coating fruit with profound minerality and racy acidity, elegantly structured to gain in complexity with aging.
From a roller coaster Chablis vintage that resulted in smaller yields, Andy Howard of Decanter offers some excellent advice, “Find producers you favor and snap them up while you can” - these outstanding, value-loaded 2021 Domaine Sebastien Dampt selections a perfect opportunity to enjoy exceptional Chablis often without breaking the bank. |
