Domaine Laroche - Chablis Saint Martin 2024

Founded in 1850, Domaine Laroche is one of the most respected and largest owners of premier and grand cru vineyards in Chablis, and has led movements to raise the quality of the appellation with the creation of a charter of excellence for the grand cru producers. Today, Domaine Laroche still produces and ages its premiers and grands crus in the historical cellars of its headquarters, the Obédiencerie.

The Saint-Martin cuvée is a tribute to the birth of Chablis wines and to our heritage of over 1,000 years of history. A selection of the finest historic terroirs of the Chablis Village appellation. Within these terroirs, the plots are meticulously differentiated by their exposure and soil type. Special care from the vine to the various stages of vinification and aging makes the Saint-Martin cuvée more than just a Chablis Village. Laroche expresses his vision of the quintessence of a Grand Chablis.

The 2024 vintage in Chablis was shaped by abundant rainfall in the first half of the year and a mild summer. Harvest began on September 19, starting with Les Butteaux, followed by Les Blanchots Grand Cru and Côte de Léchet. Careful picking decisions were made parcel by parcel to preserve the freshness and minerality that define Chablis. Despite uneven ripening, Domaine Laroche crafted a vintage marked by balance, freshness, and precision. 

Aged on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks and 15% in 55hl foudres for 6 months.

Chablis Saint Martin has the intense freshness typical of the terroir in combination with ripe white fruit and white blossom aromas. The minerality gives a lingering finish and a distinct character. A nice complexity emerges from this vintage, while keeping a lot of purity. Precise and uncompromisingly mineral.
