Terroir:-
Les Blanchots is one of seven Chablis Grand Crus. It comprises 12 hectares (of which Domaine Laroche own 4.5) and is known for its fragrant aromas and elegance.
The steep, south/southeast facing slope has excellent exposure to the sun and the poor Kimmeridgean soils give an ageing potential of at least 10-20 years.
Domaine Laroche epitomises Chablis. The quality of their wines is impeccable, with all wines carrying the Chablis hallmark of crystalline purity and steely minerality.
Laroche were the first Burgundian producer to move to screw caps in 2002 and now all their wines, from Petit Chablis through to Grand Cru, are now closed under stelvin. http://www.larochewines.com/en/cuvee-la-reserve-de-lobedience
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.
Domaine Laroche’s ownership of vineyards is remarkable, and sets them apart from their main competitors.
Chablis is a fragmented region, but Domaine Laroche owns 100 hectares of vines, including an impressive 30 hectares of Premier Crus and six hectares of Grand Crus.
