Within the house of Albert Bichot, Domaine Long-Depaquit is well known for its careful selection of Chablis styles and we have chosen our favourites of the vintage. Chateau 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.

What the critics say:
"A pale mid lemon colour, while the bouquet starts gently it soon develops significantly more fruit. Broad-shouldered and exceptionally young, with a core salinity alongside the white and yellow fruit. This is growing on me as the detail starts to emerge more. “Closer to the stones” commented one taster. DIAM 10 closure. *****"
"The 2018 Chablis Les Vaudésirs Grand Cru has a well-defined nose with lightly honeyed fruit, touches of grilled walnut and a very subtle marine influence. The palate is well-defined, displaying crisp acidity, nice focus and admirable depth. It does not convey a great deal of mineralité or tension on the finish, but it feels harmonious and persistent. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable Vaudesir. "
