Domaine Long-Depaquit

Situation

Chablis

Level

AOC Premier Cru

Grape variety

Chardonnay

"Les Vaucopins" is a Premier Cru in a class of its own among the wide range of Domaine Long-Depaquit's wines. Located on the right bank of the Serein river, this Climat is located in the commune of Chichée, 3 kms south-east of Chablis.
This terroir is remarkably similar to that of the Grand Crus: southern exposure, a steep slope and numerous Kimmeridgian outcrops, which give Chablis wines their typical minerality. This noble terroir along with frequently warm conditions yield classy Premier Cru wines with the same potential as the greatest Chablis.

Tasting

The Vaucopins cuvée is the archetype of the minerality found in the wines of Chablis. A complex combination of fleshy fruit, notes of smoke and gunflint paired with a lively, vivacious structure. Highly concentrated flavours on the palate, which boasts exceptional length.

Taste this wine with fish and seafood, grilled or with sauce, or with roasted or stewed poultry and white meats.
Recipe suggestion: seared scallops with citrus butter
