Domaine Laroche
Chablis Premier Cru Les Montmains
Montmains climat is located on the left bank of the Serein River, just to the southwest of the town of Chablis. Kimmeridgian limestone-based soil and excellent exposure make it an early-ripening site, able to deliver much body and structure in the wine, with a generous mouthfeel underneath.
Domaine Laroche owns 1.46 hectares of vineyard within Les Montmains Premier Cru. The premier cru is located on a spectacular South-East slope in a widely open valley with abundant sunshine. A beautiful terroir for this excellent, racy Premier cru.

A wine of remarkable finesse, with delicate floral aromas. On the palate, it is both elegant and powerful, yet maintains its distinctive subtlety.

2023
"The 2023 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a crushed stone- and pressed white flower-scented nose that demands coaxing from the glass, but it feels well defined and focused. The palate is lively on the entry, with a citric core of fruit. This is tensile and energetic with a sense of tension on the finish. The 2023 is a well-crafted Montmains that should repay bottle age."
— Neal Martin, 2025
