Domaine Sébastien Vapors Petit Chablis 2024

A crisp, dry white wine with green apple aromas, light floral nuances, and a hint of dairy. The juicy flavor structure is balanced and mellow on the finish.

 

 

Petit Chablis may have "petit" in its name, but Sébastien Dampt's is anything but small. This is also evident in the rave reviews he receives for this wine from international critics. Parker's Wine Advocate, for example, writes: "Certainly one of the best Petit Chablis that I've tasted." This speaks volumes about the young Sébastien's immense talent.

Officially, Petit Chablis is considered the least prestigious appellation of Chablis. In many cases, this is reflected in the quality of the wines. However, in the hands of a skilled winemaker, Petit Chablis can become so good that it tastes better than the average Chablis. This is one of them.

Sébastien's love of wine is no stranger. He founded his own estate in 2007 after training in Beaune and several years of experience working at his father, Daniel Dampt's winery. He follows in his footsteps in making his wines: traditionally, fermenting and aging exclusively in stainless steel tanks to achieve optimal terroir expression and a fresh, mineral character. Malolactic fermentation ensures that, despite its fresh character, the wine is also beautifully rounded and slightly creamy. Delicious as an aperitif or with a delicious fish dish.
