Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
Benefiting from a favorable south-western exposure to the afternoon sun, the"Bougros" Grand Cru parcel, the most westerly of the Grands Crus, produces a wine that smells of toast and ripe fruit, with a dense, mineral structure and a terribly expressive finish!

Tasting & pairing
Eye
superb golden yellow color. Brioche
Nose
toast and ripe fruit are just some of the aromas present on the nose.
Mouth
dense structure, but the minerality - Chablis oblige - always has the last word! The finish is silky, long and terribly expressive.

Food and wine pairing
At the table, it's a wonderful accompaniment to fine white meats (braised guinea fowl legs on a bed of stocks and boletus), an omelette with Comté cheese, or cheeses with character (Appenzeller, Ossau Iraty, fresh Munster with cumin).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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.

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.
