Description
'Les Vaucopins' is a Premier Cru that is quite unique within the wide range of the Long-Depaquit estate's wines. Located on the right bank of the Serein River, this vineyard is in the commune of Chichée, 3 kilometers east of Chablis. Its terroir has an uncanny resemblance to the Grand Crus: southern exposure, steep slopes and numerous Kimmeridgian outcrops. Consequently, the subsoil lends these wines a very specific personality. With its noble origin and often warmer than average conditions for this terroir, this high-end Premier Cru has definite promise and potential.
Tasting note
This wine features an expressive, rather powerful nose that is efficiently mineral. Milk caramel notes combine with elegant, refined nuances of oak. A hint of sweetness on the palate with flavors of candied fruit, apricot, and quince. This beautiful, full-bodied wine finishes on a generous, slightly acidic note.
Food pairing
The varied and sustained aromatic pallet of this great wine allows a double vocation. As an aperitif or for a convivial meal. It will pair well with seafood, scallops, fish and white meats.
