Winemaker
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. Despite their impressive heritage, a dynamism that is unusual in such a venerable producer permeates everything Laroche does.
Tasting Notes
Pale lemon in colour, this is an elegant expression of the ‘Vaudevey’ 1er Cru with a nose defined by notes of lemon curd, white peach and bitter almond. The palate is delicately textured with citrus and stone fruit notes balanced by bright acidity and a long, mineral finish.
Food Pairing
This Chablis 1er Cru “Les Vaudevey” is a versatile companion to a variety of dishes. It shines with seafood such as oysters, clams, and grilled fish, enhancing their natural brininess. It’s also an excellent match for poultry dishes, particularly those with light, creamy sauces, like chicken with a lemon herb sauce. Additionally, it pairs wonderfully with goat cheese and other fresh, tangy cheeses.
