The 2023 Dampt Chablis Premier Cru Côte de Léchet is a beautifully refined Chablis from one of the appellation’s most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. Situated on a steep south-east facing slope overlooking the village of Milly, Côte de Léchet is renowned for producing wines of intensity, precision and pronounced mineral character. The Dampt family’s careful vineyard management and minimalist winemaking approach allow the distinctive terroir of this celebrated site to shine.
The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white peach alongside notes of white flowers, oyster shell and wet stone. The palate is vibrant and tightly focused, combining crisp citrus and orchard fruit with bright acidity and a striking chalky minerality. Hints of saline freshness and crushed limestone carry through a long, elegant finish. The 2023 vintage offers excellent concentration while retaining the freshness and precision that define great Chablis.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb Premier Cru Chablis that delivers both elegance and complexity. Fresh, mineral and beautifully structured, it pairs wonderfully with oysters, scallops, lobster, grilled fish and creamy seafood dishes. Enjoy now for its vibrant energy or cellar through 2035 as it develops additional depth, texture and classic Chablis complexity.
