Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis

Learn More About This Wine

In Northern Burgundy, not far from Auxerre, the Chablis appellation stretches across approximately 15 km around the village of the same name. It is the monks of the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny who were the first to begin cultivating vines in the region. The vines are planted on gentle slopes (3 degrees to 11 degrees) where they benefit from different exposures. The grapes hail from a mosaic of various terroirs, which lends lovely complexity to the wine due to the fact that the characteristics of each terroir are preserved by being vinified separately. The nose features elegant complexity and combines intense aromas of candied lemon with subtle hints of white flowers. The structure is neat, chiselled and lively with a saline finish. This wine is great as an aperitif or well with seafood such as oysters, prawns, or crab.
