THE grand cuvée of Long-Depaquit, this Grand Cru en Monopole is the stuff of dreams for any Chablis connoisseur. Its nose of fleshy fruit accompanied by notes of citrus, jasmine and violet is spellbinding. The typical palate reflects the marly minerality of this micro-terroir.

Beautiful, limpid gold-green color with very bright reflections
Nose
Fleshy fruit (peach, nectarine) with citrus and floral notes (jasmine, violet).

Ample and generous, very typical of the marly minerality of the micro-terroir. Plenty of freshness, light, well-melted oak and exceptional length on the palate.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 17/20 (Vintage 2017) (Reference wine)
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Cécilia Trimaille has just taken up residence in Chablis, replacing Matthieu Mangenot at the head of Domaine Long-Depaquit, the Chablis branch of the Bichot family since 1970. The vineyard here is one of the most extensive in the region, covering 65 hectares, including 5 of the appellation's 7 grands crus (not counting the famous monopole de la Moutonne), and a tasting here gives a good overview of the diversity of terroirs in the area. Good 2017 despite the spring frost that affected volumes more than quality. With the exception of the disappointing premier cru les-lys, all the other cuvées tasted to their advantage.

Rated 18/20 (Vintage 2017) (Grand vin)
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Albert Bichot is the owner of the Long-Depaquit estate in Chablis, a prestigious range of crus, including the Grand Cru La Moutonne, which benefits from the sunniest exposure in the appellation. The wines often express a roundness and generosity that make them accessible when young. If the range seems more homogeneous, the expression of terroirs can certainly gain in intensity and precision. Cécilia Trimaille, 31 years old and the new managing director, will do her utmost to accompany this progress.
