Long-Depaquit - Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2009
Notes: Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 15/20, Citation Guide Hachette
"A wine with a lemony, slightly salty nose. It's no surprise that the mineral palate is accompanied by hints of oyster shells. Look no further than this fresh, lively wine to accompany your meal. It will keep for four to seven years. " (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

Food and wine pairings
La puissance des Clos, sans excès rappelons-le, lui permet une gamme d'accords large et variée. Classiquement, un poulet basquaise ou une cassolette de lotte à l'ail rose de Lautrec lui iront à merveille. Son caractère fera mouche également sur une cuisine légèrement relevée, faisant la part belle aux épices. On pense notamment à la cuisine indienne, sud-américaine ou orientale.<br/> <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.
