Domaine Laroche Description
"Pale yellow and brilliant. The nose opens on notes of chalk, white flowers and ripe white fruits. Minerality on the palate with a long and saline finish. Perfect as an aperitif or to pair with seafood, prawns or fish." - Importer
Decanter: 92 Points
A dizzying array of aromas range from green apple and peach to soft white blossoms and spice. The texture is dense, but surprisingly good acidity for the vintage deftly balances the richness and carries the wine to a solid finish. Grapes from the best village-level sites throughout the appellation are fermented in stainless steel tanks and large casks (15%), then the wine aged for six months on its fine lees to give a bit more depth. Will drink well on release and represents fantastic value in Chablis.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Reserved aromas of yellow apple, forestfloor, and pear blossom open on the nose. Steely in texture, the palate is well served by chalk-dusted acidity that brightens the finish with an added twist of lemon peel. Pair with langoustines, mussels, and goat cheese
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
15% aged in foudres, the rest in stainless steel. Pure and pale lemon, with a more natural Chablisian nose, classy white stone fruit through the middle, and a little marine touch behind.
Burghound
There is just enough reduction to blur the nuances of the nose on the citrus and pear aromas that are trimmed in subtle wood influence. Here too the mouthfeel of the sleeker and fine medium-bodied flavors is generous while dialing up the size and weight, all wrapped in a more complex and solidly persistent finale that is borderline tannic. Good quality for its level though it will need air upon opening.
