Long-Depaquit - Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2009
Notes: Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 15/20, Guide Hachette Mention
“A wine with a lemony, slightly briny nose. It’s no surprise that the mineral-driven palate features hints of oyster shells. Don’t look for another dish to pair with this fresh, lively wine. It will age well 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 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.
