Domaine Laroche, Chablis `St Martin` 2018 Chablis, Burgundy, France Domaine Laroche, Chablis `St Martin` 2018 Chablis, Burgundy, France PRODUCER Domaine Laroche is deeply rooted in the history of Chablis, based in the ‘Obédiencerie’, a former monastery in Chablis itself, where wine has been made for over 1,000 years. The quality of the wines is consistently impeccable, with the Chablis hallmark of crystalline purity and racy acidity. Their ownership of vineyards is remarkable and sets them apart from their main competitors. Chablis is a fragmented region, yet Domaine Laroche owns 90 hectares of vines, including 21 hectares of Premier Cru and six hectares of Grand Cru vineyards. In addition to their own vineyards, the domaine has developed long-standing purchasing partnerships with 40 small growers; the Laroche Chablis is made from these partnerships, while the Domaine Laroche wines are made from their own vineyards. The domaine has been built up over the past 160 years, but a dynamism that is unusual in such a venerable producer permeates everything Laroche does. VINEYARDS Saint Martin refers to the patron saint of Chablis, whose relics were kept in the domaine's ancient monastery for many years. Domaine Laroche owns 63 hectares of Chablis vineyard on the famous Kimmeridgian soil that gives the wines such precision. Each plot, of which there are 30 in total, has a different exposure, soil depth and vine age which contributes complexity to the wine and means that every parcel ripens at a different time. Gregory Viennois refers to Chardonnay's 'two-day window' of maturity - if the parcels aren't harvested in this time the precious Chablis aromas are lost. VINTAGE 2018 was one of the best vintages for Chablis in the last 20 years. An unusually warm, dry summer encouraged optimal ripeness while warding off diseases, resulting in plentiful yields. This is welcome news after two years racked by frost. Grape Varieties 100% Chardonnay Winemaker Grégory Viennois VINIFICATION The grapes were pressed and settled at low temperatures for 12 Closure Screwcap hours in wide tanks, to help the settling process and minimise the ABV 12.5% need for sulphur dioxide. Fermentation lasted 21 days at 17°C, Bottle Sizes 37.5cl, 1.5lt followed by full malolactic fermentation. After filtration with Bentonite, the majority of the wine was aged for eight months on Notes Sustainable, Vegetarian, Vegan fine lees in stainless steel tanks with a small amount (8%) in large oak casks (foudres). Filtration was light to preserve the natural body of the wine. TASTING NOTES This Chablis is pale gold in colour. It has an intense freshness typical of the area, with ripe white fruit and white blossom aromas. On the palate, its minerality gives a lingering finish and wonderfully distinct character. AWARDS International Wine Challenge 2019, Silver.

VINTAGE The 2015 vintage started with very good conditions during flowering, with dry and sunny weather. These conditions continued and were ideal for preventing diseases during ripening. On the morning of 1st September, a hailstorm affected the vineyards of Les Clos and Les Blanchots. This resulted in a partial loss of yield but didn’t impact the quality of the grapes due to careful sorting in the vineyard and in the cellar.

  • Domaine Laroche Vineyards
    Domaine Laroche Vineyards The vineyards of Domaine Laroche are spread out across the entire region of Chablis, located in the northernmost section of Burgundy, 150 kilometers (93 miles) south of Paris, between Champagne and the Côte d’Or. Chardonnay is a vigorous variety that therefore requires careful fruit-quantity control. The Domaine Laroche philosophy relies on one-man plots, meaning that one person is wholly responsible for the care of a single vineyard parcel, from the pruning, soil conditioning and control of yields to the sorting of the harvest. Springtime frost, less frequent now with climate change, remains a constant risk that conditions the viticulture. Thus, pruning takes place twice, in order to prevent early budburst that would expose the plants to an April or May frost, as well as to shape the vines and control yields. Domaine Laroche implements a systematic debudding in order to space the branches, ventilate the grapes and control yields. This work is completed by a green harvest if the quantity of grapes is excessive. Leaf removal allows for maximum sun exposure, enabling better and more even ripening of the grapes. The soil is plowed in order to allow the roots to develop under optimal conditions. Crops are also planted for aeration of the soil, and controlled grass-seeding is used to regulate drainage and protect the soil wildlife. Vineyard irrigation is not permitted in Chablis. The area’s unique Kimmeridgian soil contains just the right amount of limestone to impart the mineral characteristics that have become so coveted in Chablis wines. This soil is also composed of the correct levels of gravel necessary for good drainage and a substratum of clay to preserve enough water for the health of the vines.

  • Domaine Laroche ‘Les Chanoines’ Chablis 2018
    Domaine Laroche ‘Les Chanoines’ Chablis 2018 Grape Varietal: 100% Chardonnay Growing Region: Chablis, France Chief Winemaker: Grégory Viennois Looking for a Chablis that showcases varietal typicity and classic terroir characters - then look no further than Domaine Laroche expressions. This wine is a blend of different vineyard sites of Laroche across the Chablis appellation. Grown in Kimmeridgian soils, with vines planted in a west to north-west orientation. Due to the diverse character of these unique sites, they contribute vibrancy and elegant mineral characters to this early drinking cuvée. Domaine Laroche has a respectful philosophy to viticulture. Many of their vineyards were converted to organic viticulture back in 2010 with a minimum of four consecutive years of organic cultivation (one more year than EU regulations) before they considered their viticulture to be 100% organic. They practice traditional Chablis viticulture - with aerated canopies and leaf thinning employed to prevent growth of botrytis, plus a green harvest as required. Their combined area of vines account for approximately 60 hectares, with the vines having an average age of 38 years. I was in these vineyards in 2018, having a look at the fruit across their sites. After two complicated years, loosing up to 50-60% of the harvest, the team at Laroche were looking forward to a good 2018 harvest in quantity and quality (with a vintage similar to 2015) - plus a return to classic fruit characters. As the fruit arrived into the winery the parcels were whole bunched pressed in a pneumatic press, then the must was allowed to rest for 12 hours at a temperature of 12-15°C in large specially designed wide tanks which aided in aeration during this natural process.

  • Domaine Laroche, Chablis 1Er Cru `Les Vaudevey` 2015
    Domaine Laroche, Chablis 1er Cru `Les Vaudevey` 2015 PRODUCER Domaine Laroche epitomises Chablis, with impeccable quality and a remarkable 100 hectares of vineyards, including 30 hectares of Premier Cru and six hectares of Grand Cru sites. Founded in 1850, there is still a dynamism which permeates everything they do. Michel Laroche merged with another family-owned producer, Jeanjean, in 2009 and he remains involved in the business, along with his wife Gwénaël. As part of their aim to retain purity and minerality in the finished wine, Laroche was the first Burgundian producer to move to screwcaps in 2002. VINEYARDS Vaudevey is a 35 hectare Premier Cru (Domaine Laroche own 9.96 hectares) which sits to the west of the town of Chablis. The steep slopes rest on classic Kimmeridgean soil; sun exposure on the east/south facing vines, occurs in the morning and early afternoon, which gives good ripeness and an elegance not always found in the more powerful of the Premier Crus. VINTAGE The 2015 vintage started with very good conditions during flowering, with dry and sunny weather. These conditions continued and were ideal for preventing diseases during ripening. On the morning of 1st September, a hailstorm affected the vineyards of Les Clos and Les Blanchots. This resulted in a partial loss of yield but didn’t impact the quality of the grapes due to careful sorting in the vineyard and in the cellar. After the storm, the weather conditions were dry with cold nights. In this vintage more than ever, the decision of when to harvest was crucial.
