Colour Brilliant pale gold with luminous green reflections. |
|
Bouquet Complex and elegant, opening with white and yellow-fleshed fruits, citrus, lemon zest and ripe orchard fruit. Delicate floral aromas add finesse, supported by chalky mineral nuances and subtle hints of sweet spice. |
|
Flavour Generous, refined and beautifully structured. Layers of citrus, white peach and ripe pear are carried by a silky texture and vibrant freshness. The Kimmeridgian marl soils bring a deep saline and chalky mineral character, while the discreet oak contributes subtle richness without overpowering the fruit. Exceptionally long, pure and persistent, with mineral tension, elegant freshness and a fine saline finish. |
Decanter 96 Points
Formerly owned by the monks of the Pontigny Abbey, Monopole du Domaine Long-Depaquit “Moutonne” is a plot that is sheltered within a natural amphitheatre at the heart of the Grand Crus, the historic part of the Chablis vineyards that dates back over one thousand years.
Located in both “Vaudésir” (95%) and “Preuses” (5%), this south/south-east facing plot with its ideal location and shape enable it to capture all of the sun’s rays. The steep slope (nearly 40%) in the central part of the plot protects the vines from the North winds. Traversed by a wall, the lower part of the plot yields wines that are rich and structured while the grapes hailing from the upper part lend the blend its floral aspect and tautness.
