- Gold, Concours General Agricole de Paris, 2018
Gold medal white Burgundy from a family domaine that excels with its fine Chablis. The forgotten Tonnerre vineyards lie just outside the hallowed region and were rediscovered by the Dampts. This bright, citrusy white has all the Chablis credentials.

Founded by Bernard Dampt in 1980, his three sons Eric, Emmanuel and Hervé now run this fine estate. They have won many top medals and also ‘Chablis Young Winemaker of the Year’. Their wines always have a lovely purity of fruit and superb intensity, and their Tonnerre white and Petit Chablis are particularly accessible early on. This 2016 is named after a colourful local character, Charles Geneviève Louis d’Eon de Beaumont, aka the Chevalier d’Eon, who in the 18th century became famous for his cross dressing – as a diplomat, while conducting secret negotiations with the Russian Empress Elizabeth, and as a matter of personal preference. Serve gently chilled with sauced white meats, seafood or gougères, a cheesy interpretation of profiteroles!
