Domaine Laroche : Chablis Grand cru "Les Blanchots La Réserve de l'Obédience" 2022

The finesse and precision of a great Chablis Grand Cru

The property
Located in the heart of Burgundy, the Domaine Laroche is one of the emblematic names of Chablis. Its history dates back to the 9th century, testifying to a remarkable heritage. Since 2009, the estate belongs to the Advini group, which perpetuates a philosophy focused on the finesse of expression and aromatic elegance. The wines of the estate stand out for their ability to accurately reveal the uniqueness of the Chablis climates.

The vineyard
Located to the east of the hill of the grand crus, this plot benefits from a characteristic soil of Chablis, composed of Kimmeridgian marls rich in marine fossils, mixed with white clays. Of the 12.7 hectares that make up this grand cru, Domaine Laroche cultivates 4.56, facing east/southeast. This particular exposure, favoring morning sunshine, contributes to a unique microclimate and a slow maturation of the grapes. The result is wines of remarkable complexity, combining freshness and structure.

Vinification and aging
Each plot is harvested by hand, then vinified separately in order to preserve the identity of each terroir. The vinification is done in tanks or barrels depending on the profile of each batch. Only the most balanced and expressive cuvées are selected for the final blend of the Réserve de l'Obédience, whose ambition is to deliver a pure and racey interpretation of the Chablis grand cru.

Blend
This Chablis Grand Cru "Les Blanchots La Réserve de l'Obédience" 2022 from Domaine Laroche is a 100% chardonnay.
