Critical Recognition
- 88 Points - Burghound (Allen Meadows): Fresh and bright aromas of petrol, citrus and iodine introduce vibrant, detailed and mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are shaped by lemon-tinged acidity that is vibrant but not drying. This is a lovely Petit Chablis that should drink well young but also be capable of repaying a few years of aging if desired.
Highlights
- 100% Chardonnay: A quintessential, unoaked expression of Petit Chablis, designed to highlight the grape's youthful energy, bright citrus profile, and Chablisienne minerality.
- The Producer: Domaine Daniel Dampt is a highly respected family estate in Chablis, renowned for their unwavering commitment to crafting pure, crystalline wines without the influence of oak.
- Winemaking: Fermented and aged entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. This protective environment preserves the bright primary fruit and locks in the bracing acidity that defines the region.
- Vintage Profile: The 2024 vintage offers a wonderful balance of immediate charm and structural tension. Unlike softer, purely fruit-forward years, it possesses a vibrant, shaping acidity that allows it to drink perfectly upon release while rewarding a few years of short-term cellaring.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a pale, shimmering lemon-green, this vibrant Petit Chablis opens with a fresh and highly aromatic bouquet. Bright notes of crisp citrus are beautifully interwoven with classic northern Burgundy accents of iodine, crushed stone, and a subtle hint of petrol. On the palate, it is detailed and distinctly mineral-driven, carried by a middleweight structure. A vibrant, lemon-tinged acidity beautifully shapes the pure fruit core—providing excellent tension without ever turning drying—and leads to a wonderfully fresh, mouthwatering finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 46-50°F (8-10°C) in a standard white wine glass to maximize its crisp, thirst-quenching qualities.
- Decanting: Pop and pour; no decanting is necessary. While exceptionally delicious now, its firm acidity will allow it to age gracefully for 2 to 3 years. It is a flawless pairing for freshly shucked oysters, grilled white fish, or a tangy goat cheese salad.
