Albert Bichot Chablis Grand Cru Les Vaudesirs Domaine Long-Depaquit 2019

The 2019 Albert Bichot Chablis Grand Cru Les Vaudesirs Domaine Long-Depaquit is an intense, mineral-driven Chardonnay from the heart of the Grand Cru sector in Burgundy. Produced from 40-year-old vines grown on steep, south-facing slopes of Kimmeridgian limestone, this wine offers an aromatic profile of citrus fruit, white flowers, sea breeze, and iodine with subtle, well-integrated wood notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and taut, displaying a concentrated structure of green fruit and peach balanced by a refreshing acidity and a lingering, saline finish. It is a sophisticated representation of Chablis that can be enjoyed young or aged for 5 to 15 years to develop complex tertiary characteristics.
