Domaine Daniel Dampt & Fils produces a Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons, a dry white wine made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes. This wine is crafted in the Burgundy region of France, specifically in the Chablis area, known for its distinctive Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils. The vineyard spans 3.60 hectares and benefits from an east to southeast exposure, which is ideal for vine growth. The vines are approximately 35 years old and are planted with a density of 5,500 vines per hectare, utilizing the Guyot Double pruning method.
The vinification process involves fermenting the wine in stainless steel vats to maintain the freshness and typicity of the Chardonnay grape. All steps from harvesting to bottling, including malolactic fermentation, fining, filtration, and cold stabilization, are conducted on-site at the winery's cellar.
This Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons presents a golden-green color with aromas of fresh butter and almond. On the palate, it is ample and supple. It is recommended to serve this wine chilled between 9 and 12°C, pairing well with dishes like grilled lobster or zander with beurre blanc sauce. The wine has a good cellaring potential, ranging from 5 to 15 years.
