The Dampt brothers - Emmanuel and Éric - moved into the Chablis region over thirty years ago to forge their own distinctive wines in the 3 valleys of the Yonne, Serein and Armançon. Their wide range of terroirs delivers wines of precision and accuracy, with impressive consistency.

One of Burgundy's finest family-run estates, the domaine has been our new partner since last year.
