Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaudevey Domaine Laroche 2005

The wine

The Chablis Premier Cru Les Vaudevey is a fairly representative wine of its appellation. With a very small proportion (12%) matured in new wood, this premier cru has a very fine golden colour, with a rich, floral, refined, precise nose marked by citrus (especially grapefruit), and a refined but dense mouthfeel, extended by a sophisticated finish.

About the Producer Laroche

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.
