Domaine Laroche 'Les Beauroys' Chablis Premier Cru 2023

Domaine Laroche 'Les Beauroys' Chablis Premier Cru 2023 pours a beautifully clear pale straw-gold color with delicate green reflections in the glass. Sourced from a premier cru parcel on a south-facing slope with classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils, this expressive and elegant Chardonnay reveals a highly complex bouquet. Upfront aromas of toasted croissant, nectarine, and dried orange peel weave gracefully around a core of warmed flint and subtle anise. On the palate, the wine balances a supple, texturally rich mouthfeel with a remarkably vibrant streak of natural acidity and a tensile, mineral-driven backbone of river stone and crushed shells. The long, precise finish uncovers a distinct saline complexity that highlights its classical maritime pedigree.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with fresh oysters, grilled sea bass, traditional Thai cuisine, or a cream-based pork tenderloin fillet.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This elegant Chablis has well-integrated aromas of toasted croissant, warmed flint and dried orange peel which weaves around nectarine and brioche on the nose. Soft and pillowy in texture, the wine cradles sun-kissed river stone and crushed shells.
