Description

An aromatic and refined Chablis Grand Cru by Domaine Laroche

The estate

An essential reference in Chablis, Burgundy, Domaine Laroche stands out due to its unique historical heritage, which dates back to the 9th century. Comprising 90 hectares of land, Domaine Laroche’s vineyard, managed using agroecological viticulture, is composed exclusively of Premiers Crus and Grands Crus. Domaine Laroche has been part of the Advini group since 2009 and is renowned for the precision, elegance and aromatic richness of its wines, which authentically express the subtle Chablis climats.

The wine

The 2018 "Les Blanchots" vintage by Domaine Laroche is a Chablis wine that stems from a 4.41-hectare vineyard. These old vines are around forty years old and benefit from a south-east exposure and a location on white clay soils, conditions that lead to deep rooting and a slow maturation to enhance the aromas.

This wine takes its name from the white clay soils that make up its vineyard, where the vines, which are about 65 years old, are planted on a south-east facing sloping hillside. These conditions favour deep rooting, sufficient water reserves and slow maturation to preserve the aromas of the Chardonnay.

The vintage

The mild temperatures throughout autumn and winter favoured the rapid development of the vines. The summer, marked by dry conditions and high temperatures, led to early veraison compared to the previous year, lasting eight days.

Vinification and ageing

The hand-picked grapes are rigorously sorted upon arrival at the winery. After whole bunch pressing, the must is left to rest for 12 hours in large vats to accelerate natural sedimentation before fermentation. Part of the wines are aged in French oak barrels (1/4 new wood).

The blend

Chardonnay (100%).
