In bottle. Pale lemon colour, this has a much more classical Chablis nose, white fruit with marine notes, excellent tension, deeply crisp apple notes, a hint of lemon zest, full body, good persistence. Will need some ageing.
Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
This 2.3 hectare parcel is in the sub climate of Vaillons; Long-Depaquit was originally the only producer, but a couple more are declaring under this label now, rather than using the Vaillons label. ‘If you don’t take care here this can really go over-ripe very quickly - so the date of picking is crucial - the parcel is protected by the forest.’
A narrower but deeper nose, slowly expanding in the glass. Extra clarity and super fluidity to this wine. It’s mineral in style rather than fruit dominated - of course there’s still a nice agrume and citric acidity - but this is texturally fine and delicious - holding impressively in the finish. Bravo!
