Domaine Laroche
Chablis Premier Cru Côte de Lechet
One of the rarest Premier Cru of Domaine Laroche is marked with an attractive liveliness. Located just above the small village of Milly on a steep southeast facing slope. Elaborated in very limited quantity.
Domaine Laroche owns 0.23 ha of the 50 total hectares in Côte de Léchet. A very old vineyard dating back as far as the 15th Century (it belonged to the Pontigny monks in Middle Age), this terroir is well-exposed on a beautiful hillside. The 20 year old vines are planted in Kimmeridgian limestone covered with calcareous brown pebbly topsoil.

Elegant and floral with spicy undertones. Minerality lingers through to the finish and adds complexity to the gentle acidity.

"A ripe style, offering peach and melon flavors, with a hint of vanilla. An underlying mineral component lingers on the firm, dry finish."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2024
