Complex nose that combines notes of white and yellow-fleshed fruit, citrus, and delicate flower scents. The palate is full and generous, marked by the minerality due to the marls found in this micro-terroir. This wine features pleasing freshness, a slight hint of well-integrated oak and exceptional length on the palate.
Taste this wine with finely prepared fine fish and crustaceans (lobster, rock lobster…), or with roasted or stewed poultry and white meats.
Albert Bichot Description
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.
Aged 75% in stainless steel vats and 25% in 1 to 5-year-old oak barrels during 10 months on fine lees. Finished aging in stainless steel vats for 6 months.
Burghound: 92-94 Points
A very pungent nose consists of firm reduction and wood toast. The larger-scaled and impressively rich flavors brim with dry extract that helps to buffer the notably firm acid spine shaping the bone-dry, austere and powerful finish. This too should age effortlessly over at least the next decade. Drink: 2031+
