Domaine Laroche

From the Left Bank's little known 1er Cru Les Vaudevey (only a handful of producers work this steep, cool valley) comes this clear, tight, and shining Chablis. Sculpted and sharpened with lemon and pencil shavings, this is long and buzzy through the vibrant finish. Limestone juice. Tasted at i4c2024.

Aromatic hints of ripe greengage and Mirabelle are subtle on the nose of this wine. The palate adds a creamy languor to these fruity notions, endowing them with gentle, pithy texture and letting them flow in their generous ripeness, with more rich pear on the dry finish.
