DOMAINE LONG-DEPAQUIT
PRESENTATION
LOCATION
Bourgogne
VARIETAL
Chardonnay
TERROIR
Calcareous clay soil overlying subsoil composed of
Kimmeridgian limestone marls.
Surface area of the vineyard : 6,42 ha
Age of vines : 27 years old
At the heart of the Grand Crus sector, the Vaudésirs valley is a textbook
example of the geology and history of Chablis’ vineyards and bears
witness to the erosion that followed the last ice age.
Our plot is located on abrupt slopes with full southern exposure, which
gives the vines high levels of regular sunshine. Here, Kimmeridgian
outcrops are very numerous, which is expressed in the wines particularly
pronounced minerality.
WINEMAKING/AGEING

fruit.
