Domaine Daniel Dampt & Fils Chablis 2024 750ml

"Classic French Chablis with crisp citrus, green apple and a beautifully fresh mineral finish."

Domaine Daniel Dampt & Fils Chablis 2024 is a terrific example of why Chardonnay from Chablis has such a loyal following. Forget big, buttery Chardonnay, this is all about freshness, purity and that distinctive mineral character that makes the region so special. There's bright lemon, crunchy green apple and a lovely subtle richness through the middle, all wrapped up in refreshing acidity. Made by a highly respected family producer, this is proper French Chablis with plenty of character and a beautifully clean finish. If you enjoy crisp, dry whites with a little sophistication, this is definitely one to try.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh lemon zest, green apple and delicate white flowers, with hints of pear, wet stone and subtle oyster shell minerality.

Palate: Bright and beautifully balanced, with crisp citrus, green apple and white orchard fruit flavours. A gentle silky texture adds depth, while lively acidity and distinctive limestone minerality keep everything wonderfully fresh and precise.

Finish: Long, clean and refreshing, with lingering lemon, crushed stone and a subtle saline character that is unmistakably Chablis.

Serving Suggestions

An absolute winner with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, scallops or simply prepared white fish. The crisp acidity also works beautifully with seafood pasta, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, or fresh goat's cheese.

It's also a cracking choice for a seafood lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends or whenever you fancy a really good glass of French Chardonnay without the richness of a heavily oaked style.

About The Winery

Domaine Daniel Dampt & Fils is a highly respected family owned winery based in Milly, a small village in the famous Chablis region of northern Burgundy, France.

The Dampt family's winemaking history stretches back more than 150 years, with the estate established by Daniel Dampt in 1985. Today, his sons Vincent and Sébastien continue the family tradition, producing beautifully expressive Chablis that reflects the distinctive character of the region.

Chablis is one of the world's most celebrated Chardonnay regions, renowned for producing dry white wines with vibrant acidity, citrus flavours and a distinctive mineral character. The region's famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils, formed millions of years ago, play an important role in shaping the style of these wines.

Unlike many richer Chardonnay styles, Domaine Daniel Dampt focuses on preserving the natural freshness and purity of the fruit, allowing the citrus flavours and mineral character of Chablis to shine through.

The 2024 vintage delivers exactly what makes this producer so appealing, a beautifully balanced, classic Chablis with freshness, precision and genuine regional personality.

Cellaring Potential

Delicious now for its vibrant citrus, crisp green apple and refreshing mineral character. However, the wine's natural acidity and fine structure also provide good cellaring potential.

Enjoy over the next 4 to 6 years, with careful cellaring allowing additional savoury, honeyed and mineral complexity to develop.
