The 2024 Domaine Daniel Dampt Petit Chablis is a vibrant and beautifully pure expression of Chardonnay from the northern reaches of Burgundy. Produced from vineyards planted on the higher limestone plateaus surrounding Chablis, this wine offers all the freshness, minerality and precision that make Chablis so distinctive, while remaining approachable and highly enjoyable in its youth. Domaine Daniel Dampt is widely regarded as one of the region’s most reliable producers, consistently delivering exceptional quality and value across its range. The 2024 vintage showcases excellent fruit purity, lively acidity and classic Chablis character.
The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of lemon zest, lime, green apple and pear layered with white flowers and subtle citrus blossom. Delicate notes of wet stone, chalk and flint emerge with aeration, while hints of apple blossom and mineral reduction add complexity. The aromatic profile is fresh, lifted and unmistakably Chablis in style.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and impressive precision. Flavours of lemon, green apple, pear and white orchard fruits are supported by a fine chalky mineral backbone and subtle saline freshness. Fermented and matured in stainless steel, the wine emphasises purity and freshness without any overt oak influence. The texture is clean and energetic, leading to a long, dry and refreshing finish marked by citrus peel, crushed stone and oyster shell-like minerality. The style is classic Petit Chablis — vibrant, elegant and highly food-friendly.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding value white Burgundy for customers who enjoy crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay. Compared to richer Australian Chardonnay styles, Domaine Daniel Dampt Petit Chablis is lighter, fresher and more focused on citrus fruit and limestone minerality rather than oak and creaminess. It’s an excellent introduction to the Chablis region and a fantastic everyday premium white wine. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with oysters, prawns, sashimi, grilled fish, seafood pasta, goat’s cheese or light Mediterranean dishes.
