Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot)
Les Vaudésirs Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
Slightly darker in color than its peers, the 2017 Chablis Les Vaudésir Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with a fair smack of oak that partly clouds the terroir and renders this a little generic. Returning after 10 minutes, there are some sulfur issues here. The palate is well-balanced, however, with enticing nectarine and clementine notes, good depth and a supple, almost caressing finish. Very tempting, but it needs to grow into something more interesting, more Grand Cru-ish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)

Juicy acidity with citrus and mineral. Crisp but with a lingering hints of melon. Pale gold and the intensity of color has definitely bled, but the flavor has held up.

Nice mature Chablis. Picked up body and nose after 30min in decanter. Went extremely well with mussels
