Within the house of Albert Bichot, Domaine Long-Depaquit is well known for its careful selection of Chablis styles. At the heart of the Grand Cru area, the Vaudésirs valley is a textbook example of the geology and history of the Chablis appellation. The vineyards are planted with vines over 40 years old on south-facing steep slopes where the optimal amount of sunshine is guaranteed. The Kimmeridgian clay in the soil comes into play here, providing a wine with a pronounced minerality. Château Long-Depaquit sits at the centre of the village of Chablis, surrounded by a rose garden. The approach is to limit grape yields in the vineyard, intervention and oak in the winery to develop wines with purity and focus on expression of the individual plots. The winery was modernised in 2014, leading to reduced environmental impact and a step up in quality.
