Daniel Dampt, one of the most celebrated Chablis producers, also makes wine also for his father-in-law Jean Defaix.
A stylish Chablis offering lemon, lime and candied apple flavours on the nose. Bright and minerally palate with impeccable balance, and wet pebble.
.Daniel Dampt is one of Chablis’ most celebrated producers, and he produces wines both under his own name and that of Jean Defaix, his father-in-law. The domaine covers 30 hectares of vines (16 in AOC Chablis and 14 in 1er Cru vineyards) split across five sites.

Working with his two sons, Vincent and Sebastien, who have worked in New Zealand and Australia, the family produce clean, ultra-pure whites with bright steely acidity and not so much as a hint of oak. They craft wines that are true to the history of the region and reflect the rich heritage of the Defaix name.
Note: 80% from Milly with the remainder in Beine and Fontenay
This too is ripe and mildly exotic while offering a bit more obvious Chablis typicity on the citrus-inflected white orchard fruit aromas. There is also better volume
and mid-palate density to the succulent and seductively textured flavors that offer acceptable depth and persistence. This too should drink well early on.
