2017 Vincent Dampt Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons

Burghound (Allen Meadows) 89-92

“A discreet application of wood suffuses the petrol, sea shore and essence of pear-scented nose. There is good volume and punch to the energetic flavors that possess evident minerality that carries over to the clean, crisp and focused finish. I like the delivering and this should amply reward mid-term cellaring.”

“Working with ambient yeasts and stainless steel, Dampt has brought out the floral aspects of this 2017. The fruit hints at baked pear and fresh orange while the lees lend a flower-petal bitterness and a puff-pastry richness. It’s clean and savory, a saturated young Chablis that will age with grace.”
