The king’s grand cru of Chablis revealed by Domaine Laroche’s savoir-faire has an intense minerality and exceptional fineness. A great wine for great tasting occasions.
Domaine Laroche owns 1.12 hectares of the Grand Cru Les Clos (25.81 ha in total). We know from historical sources that the Monks of St Martin of Tours planted vines here in the 9th century. The vineyard takes its name from the fact that it was once surrounded by walls. The Clos is located just opposite the village of Chablis.
Hand harvest and sorting at the winery. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Aging on fine lees in the same casks in French oak barrels (228L, 400L, 600L) for 9 months in the historical cellars at the Obédiencerie. After blending, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for at least 6 months.
