New vintage, 2010 was rated: Robert Parker 89/100, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20 (Bonheur tout de suite + readers' choice award), Gault Millau 16.5/20, RVF 14/20, Citation Guide Hachette
Located on the left bank of the Serein, on the edge of Chablis, the "Les Vaillons" climate holds the secret to a timeless terroir. The Chardonnay expresses itself in a distinct floral register, followed by subtle woody notes and fresh fruit. A wine with perfect tension and minerality!

Food and wine pairings
Il faudra équilibrer la tension et le caractère minéral de ce vin avec des plats présentant une belle palette de saveurs et une chair bien présente. On pense par exemple à une marinade de saumon à l'aneth et sa charlotte tiède de poireaux au balsamique pour le contraste des saveurs. Sur une volaille grillée, le croquant de la peau et le fondant de la chair seront un bon contrepoint à la finale boisée et la précision du vin... <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.
