Chablis 1er Cru Les Montmains Domaine Laroche 2006

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.

Chablis Premier Cru Les Montmains is sited on a fairly early-ripening clay terroir on the left bank of the Serein, the river that runs through Chablis. It is an elegant, taut and perfectly balanced Chardonnay. To be enjoyed as an accompaniment to river fish.
