The Dampt Frères Bourgogne Tonnerre Blanc 2023 is a beautifully expressive 100% Chardonnay from the Bourgogne Tonnerre AOC, an emerging appellation in northern Burgundy situated just south of Chablis. Crafted by the renowned Dampt Frères, a family estate celebrated for its mineral-driven Chardonnays, this wine showcases the exceptional limestone-rich terroir of Tonnerre, producing a style that bridges the freshness of Chablis with the generosity of the Côte d'Or.
The 2023 vintage is sourced from vineyards planted on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils, the same geological formation that has made neighbouring Chablis world-famous. The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity before undergoing gentle pneumatic pressing and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit and the vibrant mineral character. The wine is then aged on its fine lees, adding subtle texture while maintaining freshness and precision. Dampt Frères' minimalist approach allows the unique terroir of Tonnerre to shine through with remarkable clarity.
