We have an excellent Montee de Tonnerre today made by the sons of one of Chablis' great vignerons, Bernard Dampt. Established in 1980, together, three of the Dampt brothers and one of their wives work to make great wines under the Dampt name. Each person has their specialty, from winemaking to vineyard machinery to organic farming. Their collaboration allows them to focus purely on one aspect of the process instead of one person doing it all, with 2022 being an excellent vintage from this great address. Montee de Tonnerre is one of the favorite premier cru vineyards of Chablis, and this example shows the classic minerality, high acidity, citrus with orchard fruits, and toned floral component. This is a very rare wine, and the majority of the production here stays in Europe, with very limited importation to the US. This Domaine is doing great things and the past few vintages here have gotten nice notes from John Gilman, and this is going to follow suit. We have some of the only bottles available in the world right now, and it's a rare, fantastic example of this top premier cru Chablis vineyard at very fair pricing.
