John Gilman "View from the Cellar"
The Bourgogne “Chevalier d’Eon” bottling from Domaine Dampt Frères hails all from vineyard up on the top of the slope in the village of Tonnerre, with these vines having been planted in 1987. The 2019 version is lovely, offering up a classy bouquet of apple, pear, wet stone minerality, beeswax, citrus peel and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core, fine mineral drive and grip and a long, classy finish. This is, for all intents and purposes, as good as most Chablis villages bottlings out there and a superb value! (Drink between 2021-2030)
