This was drunk in a restaurant with no formal notes taken. Decanted at the table, this was immediately accessible. It is in a perfect spot and is a first rate Chablis Grand Cru.

Beautiful light chalky Chablis Les Blanchots from Domaine Laroche. Salty, with a pinch of bell pepper and bitterness as it heats in the glass, stony mineral, good structure and one lingering, enjoyable aftertaste.
So sad that I’ve finished off all my bottles and don’t have a single Laroche 2011 to store and see how it develops.

Conventional and correct, maybe - but enjoyable nonetheless.

A touch on the oxidised side for some reason. Probably past its best. Still good, but not as good as before, like so many of us. Time can be cruel.

Delicious but any better than cheaper AUS/NZ/SA chardonnays of a similar style... I'm not so sure any more.

Just a real lovely Chablis with subtle strength

Found this quite floral for a Chablis but very clean cut for Burg white of the vintage. Loved it.

Lots of stone fruits like white peach, toast, an aromatic wine with very mineral palate and good depth.
Round and buttery, it’s a clean cut commercial wine, sure, but as always, I’m enjoying every drop of it.
