2011 Vignoble Dampt Les Fourneaux Premier Cru

We had this 2011 Vignoble Dampt Premier Cru, which had the acidity typical of a Chablis, but with a touch of oak which gave it a hint of vanilla flavor and then went on a hunt to find more. My husband initially forgot where he purchased this bottle of wine so we looked on the Internet and located some information on Domaine Dampt Frères. The Vignoble Dampt was made by the Dampt family including father Bernard and his three sons, Eric, Emmanuel and Hervé. In our search, we got confused with another Chablis site called Domaine Dampt. It also appeared that the Internet had different images as well as prices for the 2011 Vignoble Dampt Les Fourneaux, so it was rather confusing. To add to this confusion, there is also a Domaine Vincent Dampt.
Just when we thought that the wine would be consigned to our memory my husband remembered that we bought the wine locally. The wine store did not have any more of the 2011 Vignoble Dampt but they were able to locate the 2012 Vignoble Dampt Les Fourneaux Premier Cru! I have to say that I am still partial to the 2011 Vignoble Dampt, but perhaps it is because it is now unattainable.
