Domaine Laroche
Chablis Grand Cru Les Bouguerots
The Westernmost Grand Cru of Chablis. Les Bouguerots always offer real power and fruity charm. In the heart of the Grands Crus, Domaine Laroche owns 0.31 hectares of Les Bouguerots totaling 15.85 hectares. These vines offer a great aromatic diversity.
The vineyard benefits from an excellent south-facing exposure near the river Serein on a slope rich in calcareous stones. At the foot of the hill, a 11.8 inch layer of clay allows water retention in summer, which is crucial for the balance of the grapes. The vineyard was planted with Laroches own selection of plants coming from the old vines of the Domaine.

"Boasts complex aromas of mandarin, lemon peel and nectarine on the initial attack, before moving into a silky, textured palate with lively acidity and abundant depth on the finish. The grapes are from a south-facing parcel on the steep section of the vineyard known as the Côte de Bouguerots. Will be best after four years in the cellar and will drink for a further 20."
