Domaine Laroche "Saint Martin" Chablis 2019 France

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow, limpid and brilliant. The nose opens on notes of chalk, white flowers and fresh fruit such as apple. Fermentation takes place in used oak (30 years) bringing subtle and complex notes of fresh undergrowth and of cedar. Minerality on the palate with a long and saline finish. Perfect as an aperitif or to pair with seafood, prawns or fish.

• Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay
• Alcohol: 12.5%

Vinification

The best selection of Domaine Laroche’s vineyards. 2-3 weeks of fermentation at 16 – 20°C in stainless steel vats. Aging in steel tanks and “foudres” – large oak casks – of 55hl (15%) on fine lees. Malolactic fermentation and 6 months aging in the same vessel types. Then, the wine will be blended and aged further on fine lees for about 4 months.
