Domaine Sebastien Dampt
"Les Vaillons" Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
A rich but energetic Vaillons with some fat but good maybe decent acid and such freshness and energy. Delicious ripe minerality and an appealing lushness to it all. Nose is glorious seashells and some lime zest.

Jan 30th, 2025Nose is rich and mineral with lime blossom, some vulcanized rubber, candied limes and lemon zest, green apple skins, honeysuckle the faintest hint. Chewy and dense with brilliant energy and freshness. Great cut and energy and super clean. Big concentration and slathers your palate with minerals. Finishes with terrific persistence and length. This is just so classic and has almost no fruit and wonderful mineral and persistence. Great structure for aging.

Dec 1st, 2019Huge super expressive nose, Gorgeous purity and mineral depth. Pear, apple, such layering. Seashells. Rich and expansive but unabashedly Vaillons. Rich, ripe and expansive with gorgeous fruit inflected with intense minerality. Such a nice contrast. Balanced, mineral and so long with a midpalate one can get lost in. Terrific.

Nov 24th, 2019Lovely. Ripe than the Lechet but also has the requisite intense Kimmeridgian minerality. Dazzlingly pure with insane depth and length. Amazing texture and all out mineral assault On the palate but becomes super juicy and so delineated and elegant on the insanely mineral finish. Terrific pear and Apple fruit that support the minerality.

Sep 23rd, 2019Laser focused. Quite young, but the 14’s are easy to approach.

Jul 28th, 2019What a killer Vaillons. This is insane. Perfumed nose of classic oyster shell, some nice green apple fruit and Meyer lemon. Smokey, saline, refined and even some apple butter. Great aromas. So refined and clean. Almost feels like there is so much more. Palate is so epic and deep with grace, depth and refinement. Juicy and serene with a sweetness the oyster juice quality. More west coast than east coast. So pure, resonant and long. What a great vintage 2014 is.
