Albert Bichot : Chablis Grand cru "Les Clos" Dom. Long-Depaquit 2022

Quietly powerful, with subtle fruit flavors, a full body (for Chablis) and layers of fruit, minerals and toast that build on the palate and linger on the finish. Grown on a south-facing slope in clay-based but stony soil. 30% was barrel-fermented, showing an opulent, rich expression underpinned by a minerally, saline character. Drinkable now, but it will develop much more complexity with time. From organically grown grapes. Best from 2029.
