Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaumes Vieilles Vignes Domaine Laroche 2002
The wine
Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourchaumes is a high-class wine with balance and complexity. Its powerful, fruity, buttered palate will ensure it continues to ripen sumptuously long after the year on the bottle, with a cellaring potential of 15 years.
Domaine Laroche has superb plots in Chablis and completes its supply by purchasing grapes. Created by the very dynamic Michel Laroche, the domaine was sold to Advini in 2009 like the other domaines he created in Languedoc (Le Mas de la Chevalière), Chile (Punto Alto) and South Africa (L’Avenir). Thanks to the group's investments, the wines have continued to progress. The maturity is perfectly mastered: the grapes are ripe but always retain superb acidity and the wines are mostly matured in barriques but without ever getting marked. A location which is not-to-be-missed.
