Domaine Laroche is a historic winery with roots dating back to 1850, deeply rooted in the Chablis terroir, and known for its dedication to expressing the purity and authenticity of the Chardonnay grape through sustainable viticulture practices and a careful winemaking process.
Les Blanchots is one of the seven Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis, located on the right bank of the Serein River, with a south-east exposure benefiting from ideal climatic conditions for the ripening of the grapes. The calcareous soil rich in marine fossils gives the wine its characteristic minerality and finesse, while the exposure and the microclimate contribute to the aromatic complexity and structure of the wine.
The Chablis AOC Les Blanchots by Domaine Laroche is produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes, harvested manually at the optimal point of ripeness. The vinification is aimed at preserving the integrity of the fruit and the specificity of the terroir, with fermentation and maturation taking place partly in stainless steel and partly in oak barrels, to balance freshness with complexity without overpowering the varietal notes and wine minerals.
Visually, the wine presents a bright straw yellow color. On the nose, it offers an intense and complex bouquet, with notes of white pulp fruit, white flowers, citrus, and mineral and iodine nuances that reflect the unique soil of Les Blanchots. The measured use of wood adds delicate notes of vanilla and spices, further enriching the aromatic profile of the wine.
In the mouth, Les Blanchots demonstrates extraordinary elegance and depth, with a lively acidity that brings freshness and a distinctive mineral texture that extends across the entire palate. The complexity of the flavors develops into a long and persistent finish, with an impeccable balance that invites another sip.
Ideal as an aperitif or paired with delicate dishes based on fish, seafood, white meats and goat's cheeses, the Chablis AOC Les Blanchots by Domaine Laroche is a wine that elegantly celebrates the highest expression of Chardonnay in Chablis, offering a tasting experience that remains etched in the memory.
