Albert Bichot Chablis Les Vaillons Premier Cru Domaine Long-Depaquit 2023

Expressive nose redolent of flowers and fresh fruit. Full-bodied and tangy on the palate featuring perfect balance. Long, delectable finish.Taste this wine with fish and seafood, grilled or with sauce, or with roasted or stewed poultry and white meats. Excellent concentration and ripe fruit are balanced by the typical Chablis mineral and citrus character and backed by vivid acidity. It's medium-bodied, well balanced, quite smooth, almost broad in texture with a lingering finish. A portion was fermented in neutral oak. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold. A sleek, racy style, with a stony underpinning, along with lemon, apple, earth and celery flavors. There's viscosity midpalate, and the finish is long. A white with gravitas that needs time. Best from 2027 through 2040. Mid lemon yellow, more stone than iodine on the nose, white fruit through the middle. Then greater tension, a little citrus rinse, and a more evident grip than Beugnons. Mostly Epinottes with 10% each from Les Lys and Beugnons. There is a small wood component (10%).
