2024 Laroche Reserve Chardonnay

A fresh, slatey textured Chardonnay.

Renown Chablis producer Domaine Laroche are behind this very affordable Chablis styled Chardonnay. Sourced from cool, high altitude vineyards in the Limoux sector, the wine was vinified in a mix of 60% stainless steel and 40% demi-muid barrels, and aged on fine lees for a period of 6-8 months.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinted edges and a watery hue. Aromas of pear and lime mix with hints of wet slate and mineral notes. Possessing a slatey feel, the palate features citrus, pear and lime fruits over a wet stone and oyster shell back drop. Fresh minerally acidity with a stony finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 12.5%
