Domaine Long-Depaquit - Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaucopins 2008
Notes: Robert Parker 90/100, RVF 15/20, Gault Millau 15/20
"A tad reserved, this Chablis Vaucopins displays the qualities of the vintage, combining a lively, crisp, and sharp freshness with a generous texture. The chalky minerality comes through on the palate and gives the wine good length." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - Gault Millau)

Eye
pale yellow color with delicate honeysuckle highlights
Nose
Expressive and relatively powerful, with mineral notes. Hints of milk caramel blend with a refined and elegant woodiness.
Mouth
A sweetness emerges: candied fruit, apricot, quince. This beautiful, rich texture gives way to a full-bodied finish with a hint of acidity.

Food and wine pairings
La palette aromatique variée et soutenue de ce grand vin permet d'envisager une double vocation. Seul à l'apéritif, servez-le accompagné d'une chiffonnade de jambon de parme ou d'un serrano espagnol « pata negra ». A l'occasion d'un repas convivial, mariez ses saveurs à un carpaccio de lotte parfumé à l'huile d'olive et une mousse d'artichaut, ou à une croustade d'escargot à la crème d'ail rose... <br/>

Rated estate (2020 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Cécilia Trimaille has just taken up residence in Chablis, replacing Matthieu Mangenot at the helm of the Long-Depaquit estate, the Chablis branch of the Bichot family since 1970. The vineyard is one of the most comprehensive in the region, covering 65 hectares, including five of the appellation's seven grands crus (not counting the famous La Moutonne monopole). A tasting here provides a good overview of the diversity of the area's terroirs. The 2017 vintage is good, despite the spring frost, which affected volumes more than quality. With the exception of the disappointing Les Lys premier cru, all the other vintages tasted well.

About the estate:
A well-known Beaune-based producer, Albert Bichot owns the Long-Depaquit estate in Chablis, which is established on a prestigious range of crus, including the La Moutonne grand cru, which enjoys the sunniest exposure in the appellation. The wines often express a roundness and generosity that makes them accessible when young. While the range appears more consistent, the expression of the terroirs could certainly gain in intensity and precision. Cécilia Trimaille, 31, the new estate manager, will strive to support this progress.
