“The domaine’s emblematic wine, the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru La Moutonne, derives from a south/southeast-facing amphitheater, 95% of which is located in Vaudésir and some 5% of which is located in Les Preuses—a parcel that was once owned by the monks of Pontigny. It’s showing superbly this year, wafting from the glass with a pure and reserved bouquet of citrus oil and wet stones. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, layered and complete, with a satiny attack, excellent depth and concentration, and a long, incisive finish. Interestingly, its steely plenitude is a world away from Long-Depaquit’s Vaudésir and Presues.”-94+WA, 2020-2040

“La Moutonne” is a vineyard nestled in a natural amphitheatre at the heart of the Grand Cru sector of the historic age-old Chablis wine country. Its shape and ideal location make it a natural solar receptor. Sitting 95% in “Vaudésir” and 5% in “Les Preuses” (formerly owned by the Pontigny monks), “La Moutonne” is a monopole meaning Domaine Long-Depaquit is the sole owner. With its south/south-eastern exposure and a steep slope of almost 40%, this vineyard is protected from north winds.
