Domaine Long-Depaquit Les Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

Chalky. Lovely balance. Soft acidity.

Clear with subtle tints of sea green. Muted nose. Tight body. Puckery lemon. Mouth coating acids. Great structural punch on the back end.

2012 vintage

Good mineral weight. Pure, clean, and balanced. Should probably cellar for another year or two but going to be tough to keep my hands off it.

straw yellow/somewhat muted nose, lime, chalk/very focused, chalky minerality, nice acid/vinified and aged only 10% in barrel with the rest in tank

Nariz: limon amarillo, piedra mojada.

Boca: en boca se siente un toque de madera ademas del los otros aromas. Acidez mediana, pero redondo. Buen balance. Burn finish. Buen valor. (Mendez)

Chablis ALL DAY 🍾

Predictable, but exactly what I wanted.

Wow, still alive, though no doubt it would have been better 10 years ago. Antique fruit but still nice chalkiness.

This 2008 is quite oxidized, glimmering gold, nutty and salty, rich and round in the mouth with a slight ripe lemon note. Not sure if this bottle took a left turn or this is on course… not the clear-white laser beam sea chablis I typically fawn over, but I’m relishing this salt peanut!
