Domaine Long-Depaquit - Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2008
Note: Robert Parker 91/100
Benefiting from favorable southwestern exposure to the afternoon sun, the "Bougros" grand cru plot, the westernmost of the Grands Crus, produces a wine with aromas of toast and ripe fruit, a dense, mineral structure, and a wonderfully expressive finish!

Eye
beautiful golden yellow color. Brioche
Nose
Toasted bread and ripe fruit are some of the aromas present on the nose.
Mouth
dense texture, but the minerality—Chablis obliges—always has the last word! The finish is silky, long, and incredibly expressive.

Food and wine pairings
At the table, it pairs beautifully with white meats (braised guinea fowl thighs on a bed of cep mushrooms and porcini mushrooms), a Comté cheese omelet, or strong cheeses (Appenzeller, Ossau Iraty, fresh Munster with cumin).

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.
