2022 Dampt Freres Chablis Grand Cru "Blanchot"

The Blanchot from Domaine Dampt Frères is also made from old vines, as this parcel is more than fifty years of age now. It is given a small percentage of barrel-aging, with the remainder of the cuvée raised in stainless steel tank. The 2022 Blanchot again comes in at thirteen percent octane and offers up a superb nose of apple, pear, paraffin, a hint of raw almond, oyster shell, lovely chalky minerality, white flowers and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, precise and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, superb mineral drive and grip, zesty acids and lovely focus and balance on the long, complex and vibrant finish. This is excellent Blanchot! (Drink between 2024-2055)
