Since 2019, all Dampt vineyards have received HVE Certification (Haute Valeur Environnementale or High Environmental Value) from the French Ministry of Agriculture. This three-tiered system is a sustainability initiative that encourages farms and vineyards to increase biodiversity, decrease the negative environmental impact of their pesticide/herbicide use, manage their fertilizer inputs and improve their water management. Once an estate completes each of the three, increasingly stringent tiers, they are awarded certification.

The Dampt Chevalier d'Eon is made from 100% Chardonnay, fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel tank to preserve and highlight the beautiful fruit quality the brothers coax out of the Tonnerre terroir. Mid-lemon color with green highlights strewn throughout. On the nose, aromas of ripe Golden delicious apple, white peach, lemon meringue and baked pie crust waft from the glass. The palate showcases an exquisite balance of fruit, minerality, and acidity: Ripe Anjou pear and beautiful white flowers blend perfectly with the subtle clay and limestone minerality which are buttressed by a lively, crisp acidity that delivers wonderful vibrancy and refreshment. The finish is thirst-quenching, subtle and refined. A gorgeous, easy-drinking wine to enjoy with oysters on the half shell, a fried fish sandwich smothered in tartar sauce or grilled scallops and asparagus.
