Albert Bichot Chablis Domaine Long-Depaquit Les Vaillons Premier Cru 2017

Very precise floral notes on the nose followed by subtle notes of oak and fresh fruit. Good structure on the palate. This wine is tangy, well-balanced and already showing the lovely fullness one would expect from a Premier Cru. A combination of linden blossom and almond give way to a long, rounded finish.

This wine’s precision and minerality should be counterbalanced by dishes that feature a wide variety of flavours and have substance to them. Generally speaking, this Premier Cru pairs well with seafood, scallops, fish and white meats.

I love the effusive mineral and herbal freshness of this elegant 1er Cru Chablis, which also has attractive succulence on the mid palate and a long, chalky finish that screams out for seafood.  - 92pts James Suckling

This white leans toward the minerally side, with iodine, chalk, lemon and apple aromas and flavors. Steely and intense, offering a long, stony aftertaste. Drink now through 2024. - 92pts Wine Spectator
