DOMAINE LONG-DEPAQUIT 2022 Chablis 'A. BICHOT' (Burgundy, FR)

DOMAINE LONG-DEPAQUIT is a wine property in Chablis with some of the region's top vineyard sources: Premier & Grand Cru.  It belongs to the wine business of MAISON ALBERT BICHOT, Beaune & is one of their properties.  It is a gem to visit.  I was proud to work here for the BICHOT family showing importers the estate then the surrounding vineyards including our parcel of Chablis Grand Cru 'La Moutonne'.  I always refer to this particular Grand Cru: 'La Moutonne' as the eighth of the seven Grand Cru from Chablis.  Ask why@!

In northern Burgundy, not far from Auxerre, the Chablis appellation stretches across approximately fifteen kilometres around the village of the same name.
It is the monks of the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny who were the first to begin cultivating vines of the region. "The nose features elegant complexity and combines intense aromas of candied lemon with subtle hints of white flowers. The structure is neat, chiseled and lively with a mineral finish featuring saline and iodine nuances."
