Description
Grape: 100% Chardonnay
“Les Vaucopins” is a Premier Cru in a class of its own among the wide range of Domaine Long-Depaquit’s wines. Located on the right bank of the Serein river, this Climat is located in the commune of Chichée, 3 kms south-east of Chablis.
This terroir is remarkably similar to that of the Grand Crus: southern exposure, a steep slope and numerous Kimmeridgian outcrops, which give Chablis wines their typical minerality. This noble terroir along with frequently warm conditions yield classy Premier Cru wines with the same potential as the greatest Chablis.
