Albert Bichot 2021 A Bichot Chablis Les Vaucoupin

Details

Les Vaucopins is a Premier Cru that is quite unique within the wide range of the Long-Depaquit estates wines. Located on the right bank of the Serein River, this vineyard is in the commune of Chiche, 3 kilometres 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.

Alcohol percentage: 13.9

Tasting Notes

This wine features an expressive, rather powerful nose that is predominantly mineral. Milk caramel notes combine with elegant, refined nuances of oak. A hint of sucrosity on the palate with flavours of candied fruit, apricot, and quince. This beautiful, full-bodied wine finishes on a generous, slightly acidic note.
