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/>
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Cécilia Trimaille has just taken up residence in Chablis, where she is replacing Matthieu Mangenot as head of the Long-Depaquit estate, the Bichot family’s Chablis operation since 1970. The vineyard there is one of the most comprehensive in the region, spanning 65 hectares, including 5 of the appellation’s 7 grands crus (not counting the famous Moutonne monopole); a tasting here offers a wonderful glimpse into the diversity of the area’s terroirs. The 2017 vintage was good despite the spring frost, which affected yields more than quality. With the exception of the disappointing Les-Lys Premier Cru, all the other wines tasted excellent.

About the estate:
A well-known name in Beaune, Albert Bichot owns the Long-Depaquit estate in Chablis, which encompasses a prestigious selection of crus, including the La Moutonne grand cru—which he holds as a monopoly—and which benefits from the sunniest exposure in the appellation. The wines often exhibit a roundness and generosity that make them enjoyable even when young. While the range may seem 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.
