The Dampt brothers - Emmanuel and Éric - invested in the Chablis region over thirty years ago to craft wines with a distinct identity, from the three valleys of the Yonne, the Serein, and the Armançon. Their wide range of terroirs produces wines of precision and accuracy, with an impressive consistency.

As one of the finest family estates in Burgundy, the domaine has been our partner for several vintages, and its success shows no signs of waning.
