An authentic Chablis, reflecting the expertise of Maison Albert Bichot in Burgundy

The estate
Founded in 1831, Maison Albert Bichot is an emblematic figure of Burgundy. Today led by Albéric Bichot, this independent family-run house shines through six prestigious estates, totalling more than 100 hectares of vines. Among them, Domaine Long-Depaquit, acquired in 1968, spans 52.1 hectares certified in organic farming and High Environmental Value. Renowned worldwide, this brand brilliantly combines a historic négociant activity with meticulous stewardship of its own land, establishing itself as a key player in sustainable viticulture.

The vineyard
The grapes come from an exceptional 28-hectare terroir located within the Chablis appellation. Averaging 38 years of age, the vines flourish across 34 plots with varied exposures and gentle slopes. The soil, typical of the region, is clay-limestone in nature and belongs to the Kimmeridgian geological era, imparting all its singularity and minerality to the vines.

Winemaking and aging
The process begins with alcoholic fermentation carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine then benefits from meticulous ageing on fine lees, still in stainless steel tanks, for a duration of 10 to 11 months in order to preserve all its purity and freshness.

Grape variety
Chardonnay (100%).
