Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir Long Depaquit - Albert Bichot (Domaine) 2022
13%
0.75L
Intensity
Vaudésir is one of the Chablis region's most famous grand crus. It provides some of the best evidence of the erosion that followed the last ice age. Domaine Long-Depaquit owns an enormous south-facing plot featuring great soil diversity. The minerality of this terroir is in perfect keeping with the maturity the southern orientation lends the grapes. This wine is élevaged in stainless steel vats (75%) and 1-5-year-old oak barrels (25%) to lend the wine complexity without overemphasising its woody character. A textbook example of precision.

About the Producer Long Depaquit - Albert Bichot
The origin of the Long-Depaquit domaine goes back to the history of the Abbey of Pontigny, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1114 by monks of Citeaux a few kilometres northwest of Chablis. A few years later, in 1128, the Cistercian monks had already developed their own domaine at Chablis. During the Revolution in 1789, Jean Depaquit, a priest of Pontigny, left the orders and returned to civil life. During the sale of national property, he bought the vineyards of the Abbey, including the famous vineyard of La Moutonne. His son, Benjamin, who had no children, adopted a certain François-Auguste Long, which would lead to the creation of the Long-Depaquit family, owner of the eponymous domaine. The château, built in 1791, is one of the most beautiful buildings of Chablis. Redeemed by the Beaunoise house Albert Bichot in 1970, this magnificent Chablis domaine developed and now covers 65 hectares. It still has its own teams and cellar. The maison Bichot also houses the Clos Frantin (Vosne-Romanée), Château-Gris at Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pavillon (Pommard), Adélie (Mercurey) and Rochegrès at Moulin-à-Vent.
