Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne, Domaine Long-Depaquit

Note:

Once again there is good Chablis typicity to the ripe but cool and reserved aromas of dried orchard fruit, anise, acacia and orange peel that are also trimmed in enough wood to mention. There is an appealing tension and refinement to the succulent medium-weight flavors that are supported by lemon-tinged acidity on the refreshingly dry finale. This is firm enough to need at least a few years of patience though I underscore that it has the depth of material and balance to reward a decade plus.
