“Since 1831, The Bichot family has been at the forefront of Burgundy wines. Over the course of 6 generations, the house style has become more and more refined and distinct in elegance.With Albéric Bichot at the helm since 1996, the house has focused its future on quality, minimal intervention winemaking and organic farming. The embodiment of this approach resulted in their 6 domaines being fully organically certified since 2018, while receiving praise and awards on the quality of the wines. In northern Burgundy, not far from Auxerre, the Chablis appellation covers an approximately fifteen-kilometre radius around the village of the same name. It was the monks of the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny who began growing vines in the region. Chablis is located at the south-eastern extremity of the Paris Basin. The grapes used to craft this Chablis at the Domaine Long-Depaquit estate come from a mosaic of terroirs, which lends remarkable complexity to the wine.”
Description
The 2020 Petit-Chablis offers a pale golden hue and a fresh bouquet of white flowers, citrus, and a hint of minerality. On the palate, it’s light and vivid, with balanced acidity and a pleasing roundness. This 100% Chardonnay pairs perfectly with oysters, raw fish, or goat’s cheese. Serve chilled at 12°-14°C and enjoy now or cellar for up to 2 years. A lively expression from northern Burgundy’s renowned Chablis district.
Reviews
Daniel Grigg NR
This highly refreshing wine features notes of apple, lemon and pleasing minerality. The palate is round and generous with nice nervousness. It would be excellent as an aperitif or enjoyed with seafood. [Daniel Grigg, 01/03/2020]
