DOMAINE
SEBASTIEN DAMPT
Sébastien Dampt is a rising star of Chablis. 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.
Nestled between the 1er Cru vineyards of Côte de Léchet and Vaillons in the south-east of Chablis, Domaine Sébastien Dampt stretches over 7 ha of some of the most sought-after terroirs in the region. Sebastien set up his Domaine in 2007, after working closing with his father Daniel and brother Vincent at Domaine Daniel Dampt.
A clear superstar of the future, his wines are some of the purest, most ethereal expressions of Chablis – mostly vinified in stainless steel to safeguard the fruit’s nuanced expression of his terroirs.
The wines of Sebastien have been well reviewed for a least a decade by Allen Meadows of Burghound who says they are very good examples of the unoaked school, and great value for money at their, and these, prices.

2023 Petit Chablis, Indent Price $41.00
A fine and lovely Petit Chablis to enjoy. An appealingly fresh nose features notes of green fruit, iodine, petrol and plenty of citrus nuances that are also reflected by the generous and supple yet punchy middle weight flavors that conclude in refreshing bitter lemon-inflected finish. Drink: 2025+

2023 Chablis, Indent Price $46.00
91 Points, Tim Atkin MW
Mostly older vines, in Milly, from excellent sites such as Vieille Voye and Champlain. Pale colour, a little richer, more honeysuckle. Good tension behind but the fleshier aspect is slightly more in control. Decent length once again. Drink from 2025-2027. Tasted Jun 2024.

2023 Cote de Lechet 1er Cru Chablis, Indent Price $72.00
94 Points, Tim Atkin MW
"Beautifully finely etched with great fruit, acidity and delineation."
17/20 Points - Jancis Robinson
Not yet in bottle. A mix of young and old vines. A touch more colour and rather fuller on the nose. A lactic note takes it away from the classic white fruit style of Léchet. An interesting thickness of texture. Some salinity to finish. I suspect the stage it is at, on its finings, makes the Côte de Léchet more difficult to read.

2023 Vaillons 1er Cru Chablis, Indent Price $72.00
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.

2023 Beugnons 1er Cru Chablis, Indent Price $72.00
The fruit is a component of that used for the Vaillons bottling, but enough is kept separate to fill a 16hl concrete egg for vinification and ageing. Pale colour, less evident fruit on the nose, more restrained. Stricter all the way through, a touch gravelly in the middle, with a more restrained finish, notably Chablisian. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted Jun 2024.

Special parcel vinified in concrete egg. Racy and cool and fresh. Bite on the end and a bit of liquorice. GV (JR)
