The fruit for this Petit Chablis is sourced from local growers who work in close collaboration with the Laroche winemaking team. The average vine age is 26 years and the wine is aged for 6 months on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks.
Bright straw colour with a subtle greenish overtone to the edges and a watery hue. Elevated ripe pear and dried honey aromas mix with hints of lime, wet stone and faint notions of fresh herbs. A supple style the palate is detailed with fleshy pear, lime and light dried honey flavours which are carried by a stony mineral back drop. Subtle infusions of fresh herbs are also present on the brisk finish.
