The estate

Domaine Long-Depaquit is owned by the Albert Bichot House, located in Beaune and managed by Albéric Bichot. This family-owned Burgundy house, backed by several generations of winemakers, is today recognized for the precision of its winemaking and its high quality standards. Present in Burgundy's finest terroirs, it strives to accurately express the identity of each Climat, particularly through its various estates, including Long-Depaquit in Chablis.

The vineyard

The Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre vineyard is located on the right bank of the Serein, facing the Grand Cru Blanchots. The west-facing vines develop on moderate to steep slopes, planted on shallow clay-limestone soils resting on a Kimmeridgian marly limestone subsoil run through with veins of blue clay. The name of this 0.40-hectare climat comes from the ancient Roman road that climbed the hill towards Tonnerre.

Slow and moderate pressing precedes alcoholic fermentation and aging on fine lees in 4 to 5-year-old oak barrels for 10 months. The wine then benefits from a final 2-month aging period in stainless steel vats.

Grape variety

This Burgundy wine is made from Chardonnay.
