2019 Domaine Albert Bichot (Long-Depaquit) Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

Pro Reviews

Decanter Magazine (DM)

Showing more of a barrel sample nature than the Fevre wine, Bichot’s Les Clos has power and richness on the palate. With a hint of toasty oak, and ripe stoned fruit characters, this will develop into a fine Grand Cru given a couple of years in bottle. There is plenty of precision here – this barrel sample doesn’t quite do the wine justice but there is clearly so much to come. Drinking Window 2022 – 2030. -Andy Howard (10/08/2020) – 08/10/2020

More moderate though not subtle wood influence frames overtly exotic aromas of white peach, apricot, lychee and a hint of sea breeze. There is outstanding volume and mid-palate density to the large-scaled, intense and powerful flavors that coat the mouth with dry extract on the robust, bitter lemon and stony finish. This is definitely not a classic rendition of Les Clos but it’s impressive nonetheless. -Allen Meadows (11/10/2020) – 10/11/2020
