  Critic tasting note: (2020 vintage) "An exquisitely open nose of ripe Amalfi lemon zest, fresh wheat bran and subtle creaminess. The palate is concentrated, toned, generous but comes with a lovely vein of freshness that counters the rounded texture beautifully. This is clear as a bell and echoes long." - 95/100, Falstaff

Producer Tasting Notes: The nose is evocative of fleshy fruit (peach, nectarine) with discreet citrus and floral notes (jasmine, violet). Full-bodied and generous on the palate with very distinct marly minerality due to the micro-terroir. Immensely fresh, light, and supple with hints of oak and exceptional length.

About Jancis Robinson

2020 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2022

An exquisitely open nose of ripe Amalfi lemon zest, fresh wheat bran and subtle creaminess. The palate is concentrated, toned, generous but comes with a lovely vein of freshness that counters the rounded texture beautifully. This is clear as a bell and echoes long.

About Falstaff

96 / 100 Falstaff

2019 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2021

Chalk and pale lemon zest dominate the nose with cool elegance. More air makes these impressions even more intense but also opens the door for hints of Mirabelle plum. The palate is taut, cool, chalky, stony, poised. A picture of elegance with astonishing length and exquisite but slender stature. A.K.

About Falstaff

97 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2018 Vintage Tasted: Dec 2020

A subtle nose on this wine references chalk, lanolin and lemon, drawing you in with a promise of depth. Just as secretive, the palate presents pure lemon essence from its depths of chalkiness. The wine is concentrated and bright, with effortless elegance. We will have to wait for this profound yet restrained wine to reveal itself. Drink 2025–2040. Anne Krebiehl MW

2015 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2017

Regarded almost as a Grand Cru in its own right, the Moutonne vineyard, wholly owned by Albert Bichot, is in a corner of the Vaudésir Grand Cru vineyard. In this sumptuous year, the wine is more generous, ripe yellow fruits than mineral texture. The acidity and the tangy aftertaste are a reminder that this is from cool-climate Chablis. Drink from 2023.

2012 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2016

(2016) In a similar vein to les Clos, with a closed but elegantly silky and poised character, flint and complex minerals on the nose, then the palate explodes with life, great juicy apricot and nectarine fruit sweetness on the mid-palate, and then a lime and lemon zest lift before searing dry acidity, juicy but salt-licked and grapefruit pithy, both fruity and very dry. A lovely Grand Cru that has an austere side to its nature, but packed into its core are ripe stone fruits and sweet notes in abundance.

About Tom Cannavan

95 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2011 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2015

This 2011 is an aristocratic wine, with a mineral character that is now rounding out. Yellow and green fruits mingle with some tannins and a steely core. It will age for several years more, so drink from 2018.

About Wine Enthusiast

95 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2012 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2015

While not in the official canon of Grand Crus, La Moutonne is definitely in grand cru territory, a parcel that is divided between Les Preuses and Vaudésir. The 2012 is very structured, dense and textured, with a strongly tannic character packed with minerality. Time will bring out its fruit and richness. Drink from 2019.

About Wine Enthusiast

2009 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2011

(2011) A well-rounded wine with a pleasantly creamy texture and limpid fruit underpinned by stony minerality. Persistent, hints of potential complexity. Very good.

2007 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2010

The flagship wine from Bichot's Long-Depaquit estate is, as usual, impressive. It has richness, balance, full white fruits with just a hint of steeliness. Powered by a citrus acidity, it looks likely to age well over several years.

About Wine Enthusiast

94 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2006 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2009

This monopole within the Chablis grand cru vineyards produces top Chablis. In 2006, the wine is powerful, but layered with intense minerality, a flinty character on top of the ripe white and yellow fruits. It has concentration, a depth of flavor that is impressive. It will age well.

About Wine Enthusiast

94 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2005 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2008

Initially this is closed up, then the wood and the superbly rich fruit assert themselves, unfolding into toast, lime, tropical fruits, plums and a dense, fresh acidity. It is still coming together, working up to being a superb wine. Give it 10 years.

About Wine Enthusiast

87 / 100 Tom Cannavan

1992 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2002

(2002) More toasty, seasame-seed aromas but also a buttery, vegetal quality; slightly cabbagy. Older Burgundy I'd say. A little acidic imbalance on the palate confirms an old wine, but though a little flat, there is quite rich fruit suggesting apples and citrus, and a mineral element. A little short, stopped by acidity.

About Tom Cannavan

1997 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2001

Long-Depaquit has a monopoly on this six acre plot which lies across parts of the Grand Cru vineyards of VaudŽsir and Les Preuses. This is a powerfully wooded wine, with ripe, sweet, honeyed fruit. Rich and concentrated. Beautifully structured.

About Wine Enthusiast

92 / 100 Wine Enthusiast

2003 Vintage

The single vineyard of Moutonne, exclusive to Domaine Long-Depaquit, forms a part of the Grand Crus of Preuses and Vaudésirs. In 2003, it has produced a deliciously rich wine, full of green and white fruits. There is toast, and there is also acidity at the end, to leave a fresh, steely taste in the mouth.
