Subtle and elegant, with peach, apple and flint flavors gaining lift from bright acidity. A mouthwatering finish echoes the fruit and mineral elements. Drink now.

This is ripe, bursting with peach and melon flavors, along with a lush texture and vibrant structure. Concentrated yet fluid, with a sunny personality and a juicy finish, revealing a hint of mineral. Drink now through 2023.

There will be some 3,000 bottles of the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots La Réserve de l'Obédience, a barrel selection from Laroche's considerable holdings in this important lieu-dit. The wine wafts from the glass with aromas of blanched almonds, Meyer lemon and white flowers that are brighter and a touch more defined than the regular bottling. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and multidimensional, with excellent concentration and a deep, ti

More dramatic and expressive than Les Clos, the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots bursts with aromas of mandarin, almond paste, lemon oil and ripe orchard fruit. On the palate, it's full-bodied, glossy and textural, with a gourmand attack but a tense, saline mid-palate and finish.

The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is very promising, unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus zest, preserved citrus, almond paste and sweet white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, chewy and concentrated, with a firm, tight-knit core and juicy acids. It's still very young and unevolved, but I look forward to seeing it from bottle.

The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes exhibits aromas of crisp peach, green orchard fruit and honeysuckle. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, concentrated and chewy, with lots of tense, taut structure and tangy acid. Right now, it isn't fully formed—but it's promising.

The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is more blocky and foursquare, revealing notes of citrus zest, pastry cream and tart orchard fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated palate that's firm and stony. If it rounds out with further élevage, it will be excellent.

The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Bouguerots is a dense, fleshy wine that unfurls in the glass with notions of tart green apple, wet stones and spring flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and textural but underpinned by tangy acids and concluding with chalky grip.

Gentle aromas of lemon and apple pick up a stony element as this white builds on the palate. Rich, yet backed by a vibrant structure, ending with a lemon note and a chalky feel on the finish. Drink now through 2023.

Elderflower, vanilla and apple aromas and flavors converge on this refined, stony white. Shows richness midpalate, before the vivid acidity cleanses the finish. Delivers more finesse than power. Drink now through 2025.

Hints of lychee and viognier suffuse the cool and restrained floral, citrus and petrol aromas that offer just enough Chablis character to be convincing. I like the sleek mouth feel of the delicious, vibrant and softly stony medium-bodied flavors...

This wine has changed dramatically since the sale of Laroche as it once could be fairly described as an oak bomb with some white wine buried underneath - not necessarily a bad wine but not a very good Blanchots. By contrast there is good freshness t

A background hint of honey frames the cool, pure and airy aromas of various white-fleshed fruit, quinine and floral wisps. There is good density to the nicely mineral-inflected and relatively supple flavors possess focused power on the citrus, clean,

Once again there is a touch of the exotic to the honeysuckle, mango, lychee and intensely petrol-suffused aromas. There is reasonably good density to the utterly delicious flavors that are a lovely combination of minerality and verve while offering m

This too flirts with the exotic but in this case it is so subtle as to play a barely minor role in the primary aromas of petrol, crushed herb, pineapple and quinine. There is moderately good punch and density to the delicious and moderately complex f

“Juicy apple and lime ... meets lees-driven tension, giving this wine a bold first impression. The umami leesiness needs time to meld into the fruit, but the wine has stature and staying power ... to age into a beautiful grand cru Chablis."
