The Dampt brothers - Emmanuel and Eric - invested in the Chablis region more than thirty years ago. Their goal was to create wines with a strong identity in the three valleys of the Yonne, Serein and Armançon rivers. Their wide range of terroirs delivers wines of precision and accuracy, with a strong regularity. The estate is one of the most beautiful family-run businesses in Burgundy.
