Colour
Brilliant pale gold with subtle green reflections.
Bouquet
An elegant, refined bouquet of citrus fruit, lemon zest and ripe white peach, complemented by delicate white-flower, camomile and lily-of-the-valley aromas. Subtle chalky and saline mineral notes develop with air.
Flavour
Full-bodied yet beautifully taut and precise. The palate combines citrus freshness, white-fleshed fruit and a fine, silky texture from lees ageing. Its distinctive Kimmeridgian minerality brings depth, tension and exceptional balance. Long, pure and persistent, with refreshing acidity and a lingering saline, chalky mineral finish.

CHABLIS GRAND CRU LES VAUDESIRS – ALBERT BICHOT

SKU 001004177

A refined and mineral-driven Grand Cru Chablis from Domaine Long-Depaquit, Albert Bichot’s historic Chablis estate. The Vaudésirs vineyard lies in the heart of the Grand Cru slope, where steep, south-facing parcels and abundant Kimmeridgian limestone marl create a Chardonnay of remarkable intensity, freshness and finesse.

The bouquet is elegant and expressive, revealing citrus fruit, white flowers, camomile and lily-of-the-valley. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet precise, with a beautifully taut structure, balanced acidity and the distinctive saline, chalky minerality that defines great Chablis. The finish is long, pure and sophisticated.

Description

Grape: 100% Chardonnay

Winemaing & Ageing

The Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested from Domaine Long-Depaquit’s 2.6-hectare parcel in the steep, south-facing Vaudésirs Grand Cru vineyard. The calcareous clay soils over Kimmeridgian limestone marl give the wine its hallmark Chablis minerality and freshness.

Fermentation takes place with 75% in stainless-steel vats and 25% in oak barrels aged between one and five years. The wine then matures for 10 months on fine lees, again split between stainless steel and mature oak, before a final six months of ageing in stainless-steel vats. This careful approach adds texture and complexity while maintaining purity, precision and the elegant character of Chablis.
