TERROIR
Predominantly limestone soil overlying subsoil composed
of Kimmeridgian marls.
Surface area of the vineyard : 12,84 ha
Age of vines : 30 years old
"Les Vaucopins" is a Premier Cru in a class of its own among the wide
range of Domaine Long-Depaquit's wines. Located on the right bank of the
Serein river, this Climat is located in the commune of Chichée, 3 kms
south-east of Chablis.
This terroir is remarkably similar to that of the Grand Crus: southern
exposure, a steep slope and numerous Kimmeridgian outcrops, which give
Chablis wines their typical minerality. This noble terroir along with
frequently warm conditions yield classy Premier Cru wines with the same
potential as the greatest Chablis.
WINEMAKING/AGEING
Handpiking, sorting of the grapes, gentle pressing so as to respect the
fruit.
alcoholic fermentation and aging on fine lees: 85% in stainless steel vats
and 15% in 1 to 4-year-old oak barrels for 10 months.
Finished aging in stainless steel vats for 2 months.
TASTING
The Vaucopins cuvée is the archetype of the minerality found in the wines
of Chablis. A complex combination of fleshy fruit, notes of smoke and
gunflint paired with a lively, vivacious structure. Highly concentrated
flavours on the palate, which boasts exceptional length.

To taste when young or to keep 5 to 7 years and more.
