- White Still
- Chardonnay
Within the house of Albert Bichot, Domaine Long-Depaquit is well known for its careful selection of Chablis styles.
Château Long-Depaquit sits at the centre of the village of Chablis, surrounded by a rose garden. The approach is to limit grape yields in the vineyard, intervention and oak in the winery to develop wines with purity and focus on expression of the individual plots. The winery was modernised in 2014, leading to reduced environmental impact and a step up in quality.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2030
What the critics say:
"Cool, pure and airy array is comprised by notes of freshly sliced white-fleshed fruit, oyster shell and a hint of iodine. There is excellent intensity and lovely detail to the medium-bodied flavors that also conclude in a lingering and bone-dry finish that, like the Les Lys, is noticeably chalky. One to check out."
"In bottle. Clear attractive yellow, the nose is delightful and very typical, with that drier style, a little bit of dry lemon on the stones, this is very classical on the palate too, with a fine consistency throughout. Some verbena notes as well, pretty long and some flesh on the bones."
