Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
This 2.3 hectare parcel is in the sub climate of Vaillons; Long-Depaquit was originally the only producer, but a couple more are declaring under this label now, rather than using the Vaillons label. ‘If you don’t take care here this can really go over-ripe very quickly - so the date of picking is crucial - the parcel is protected by the forest.’ Again only tank elevage ‘to keep the purity of this place.’
Faintly citrus fruited but less open. Steely freshness, layered, more mineral than fruit, not a big burst of finishing flavour, but anyway very long. Overall fresher yet showing a little tighter than Les Lys.
James Suckling Tasting Report
Beautiful dried meadow flowers and flinty nuances, too. There’s a very fresh and attractively succulent, ripe palate here with bright lemon pastry to close. Drink over the next five years.

The 2018 Chablis Les Beugnons 1er Cru offers fragrant lime and Conference pear scents that gently unfurl in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and crisp, not powerful but lightly spiced on the finish. This is a commendable Chablis to enjoy over several years.
