Maison Albert Bichot Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne Domaine Long-Depaquit

It was good, but I didn’t find it very special. It lacked the focus of the best grand cru Chablis. Tasted at Pujol (CDMX), where the waiter declared it was his favorite wine on the entire big wine list.

By the glass. Keep its status intact, west part of Vaudésir neighbor to Preuses, thankfully for that mineral touch that impregnated nose and mouth. Also density and length sounded as positive aspects on the palate. Rather citrus than mineral I said. Por copas. Mantiene su estatus intacto, esta parte oeste de Vaudésir y vecino de Preuses, afortunadamente con ese toque mineral que impregna nariz y boca. También la densidad y la longitud sonaban como aspectos positivos al paladar. Más bien …

Tasting: Fine.

French white wine from Chablis: Chardonnay. 13 % alcohol. Aged in stainless steel vats (3/4) and in 1 to 5-year-old oak barrels (1/4) for 10 months and final ageing in stainless steel vats on fine lees for 6 months. Light golden color. Powerful and delicate aromas of sea, pears, exotic fruit, honey, lemon, exotic spices and minerals. Somewhat unripe flavors of lime, white flowers, pear, crushed grape seeds, honey, exotic spices and vanilla. Minerality in the background. Dry. Medium body. …

Pear and oak notes with a medium finish, I think this must be one of the most delicate and well balanced whites (as well as being the priciest!) we have had in Malaysia over the past 3 years. Its a Moutone from Chablis in Burgundy... thanks for the generous treat KN, on the occasion of his 51st birthday. More like a 3.9 Star simply due to his high price point, which kinda made me expect more whilst it turned out …

Tasted after 2018 Grand Cru Les Clos. A little more of everything, more elegance, depth and refinement, very mineral, very intense and vibrant. The finish is long and lingering. Very impressive. 93-94+
