Chablis 1er Cru "Les Beugnons"
Domaine Long-Depaquit
Situation
Chablis
Level
AOC Premier Cru
Grape variety
Chardonnay
For many years, the estate has owned this beautiful plot located at the western extremity of the Valvan valley on the left bank of the Serein River. The exposure is very favourable for creating expressive and charming wines. Wines from this plot can also bear the appellation "Vaillons", from the name of the most well known vineyard in the valley. Indeed, we decided to keep the original name because of the unique character of our vineyard and because of the venerable age of its vines. “Les Beugnons” remains one of Chablis’ rarities, a wine to discover.... and to appreciate!
Tasting
This wine is characterized by lovely aromatic expressiveness with notes of sun-ripened fresh fruit (apricot, wild peach). Complex and fresh on the palate with very promising mineral notes (flint, gunflint).
Food/wine pairing
Classic matches are suited to this Beugnons Premier Cru: seafood, shellfish, scallops and fish, brioche-encased sausage, snails, and white meats.
