2020 Chablis, Les Lys, 1er Cru, Domaine Sébastien Dampt, Burgundy

Description

This is Chablis’ only north-facing Premier Cru. It’s cooler but sees the sun all day; there are rarely problems with achieving ripeness. Here, 60-year-old vines are planted on white clay soil. The wine is floral and spicy, with some herbal, grassy aromas. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with iodine and oyster shell notes. This is pure and saline.

About this wine

Domaine Sebastien Dampt

Sébastien Dampt is a rising star of Chablis and a new producer to the BBR fold. 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. In 2007 he took 7 ha of family land and created an estate in his own name based in Milly to west of Chablis. Split 50/50 between Village wine and Premier Cru, the wines are all vinified and raised in stainless steel to preserve the classic, steely appeal much loved of this venerable region.
