Within the house of Albert Bichot, Domaine Long-Depaquit is well known for its careful selection of Chablis styles.
"A 4.3ha vineyard on the village’s south west border, with clay-limestone atop the famous Kimmeridgian clay. Broad and intense on the nose, with succulent core of citrus and green apples with apple skin and stem ginger. Quite rich and showy for Chablis and rather attractive for it."

What the critics say:
"This has such fleshy and attractively ripe peach and lemon aromas with a palate that’s so precisely carved into shape, offering smooth-honed, rich, acid-cut lemons and white peaches. Some light hazelnut bread to close. Drink on release or hold."
"The 2018 Chablis Les Vaillons 1er Cru is precise and focused on the nose, this cuvée displaying a more noticeable oyster shell note, laced with citrus lemon and almond. The palate is well balanced with maybe just a little reduction that needs to be addressed. Good depth, and spicier than expected, especially on the persistent finish, which lingers in the mouth. Excellent."
