Albert Bichot Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots Domaine Long-Depaquit 2022

The 2022 Albert Bichot Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots from Domaine Long-Depaquit is a refined Chardonnay characterized by its floral elegance and strong mineral backbone. Sourced from steep slopes with limestone and bluish clay soils, the wine opens with an exquisite bouquet of white lily and rose, transitioning into a full-bodied palate that balances richness with vibrant acidity. Aging in a combination of stainless steel and older oak barrels preserves its freshness while adding subtle complexity, resulting in a long, harmonious finish marked by saline, flint, and iodine notes. This classic Grand Cru is ideal for pairing with noble seafood like lobster or sea bass and can be enjoyed young or cellared for over a decade.
