Notes : Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 15/20, Guide Hachette citation
"A lemony, slightly iodized wine on the nose. Not surprisingly, the mineral mouthfeel intersects with aromas of oyster shells. Don't look for another dish to serve this fresh, lively wine. It will keep for four to seven years". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

Food and wine pairing
La puissance des Clos, sans excès rappelons-le, lui permet une gamme d'accords large et variée. Classiquement, un poulet basquaise ou une cassolette de lotte à l'ail rose de Lautrec lui iront à merveille. Son caractère fera mouche également sur une cuisine légèrement relevée, faisant la part belle aux épices. On pense notamment à la cuisine indienne, sud-américaine ou orientale.<br/> <br/>

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 Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis, a prestigious range of vintages, 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.
