DOMAINE SÉBASTIEN DAMPT
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.

TASTING NOTES
Hailed a curvy, racy beauty from Antonio Galloni and a fascinating wine from Monica Larner, Sassicaia 2017 is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Sassicaia 2017 is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. In her preview assessment of the wine, Larner describes incredibly well the tension existing from vintner and vintage and how, like...

TASTING NOTES
An impressive release that speaks volume of the pedigree of Tenuta San Guido’s wines. Guidalberto is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. A voluptuous nose charged with blackcurrant, black cherries, damson notes is rained in by mineral, almost balsamic hints of black olive, mint, tomato leaf and fresh black pepper. The exuberant nose of youth shouldn’t distract from the...

TASTING NOTES
The third wine of the estate and one that was produced since 2003, Le Difese is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and it is then aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels and for a further three months in the bottle. The younger addition to the...

TASTING NOTES
“A darker, more structured Barolo than his sibling, Prapo’ is an incredibly pure expression of the terroir of Serralunga. Precise notes of red and black berries, forest floor and dark spices are framed by tight woven tannins and lively freshness. An exciting release that has the potential to be enjoyed for the next 10 years.” Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
The blend consists of 95% Tempranillo from 40-year-old vines in Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas in Rodezno, complemented with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor. The Graciano gives the wine an aromatic intensity and acidity, to carry the structure and elegance of the Tempranillo. The grapes are vinified separately in four-and-a-half-year-old American oak for three years, and...

TASTING NOTES
Les Lys is a north facing vineyard on the top of the hill which results in attractive, fragrant wines with subtle citrus characters. The palate is elegant and refined with notes of freshly squeezed lemons and green apples underscored by an enlivening mineral character. Drink from 2018.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
A vineyard with a southerly exposure allows the grapes to ripen well. A very appealing wine with an attractive bouquet of white flowers and stone fruits, the palate has intense citrus flavours with juicy notes of grapefruit and lemon and just a hint of sweet apricots. Drink from 2018.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
Produced from a south facing parcel at the extreme south of Les Vaillons, this unique wine is vinified in a concrete egg to give an additional layer of complexity. The shape of the egg creates a circulating effect for the lees while the porosity of the surface allows for micro-oxidation like a barrique but without any woody characters. The beautifully...

TASTING NOTES
On east facing slopes with vines up to 60 years old, this is serious stuff. 2011 saw millerandage in some plots, but the smaller berries led to great concentration of flavour. A little austere when we tasted, this is going to need some time. Restrained, elegant citrus on the nose, with hints of the yellow fleshy fruit to come. It...

TASTING NOTES
A classic Chablis to be drunk fresh and young. Lively citrus and green apple aromas with a delicate mineral note are followed by refreshing flavours of lemon and lime with hints of toast and honey and a delicious, mouthwatering acidity. Sébastian Dampt's 2011 vintage will be a beautiful accompaniment to all types of fish and shellfish. While made to be...
