Domaine Laroche : Chablis Grand cru "Les Blanchots La Réserve de l'Obédience" 2022

The 2022 Chablis Les Blanchots Grand Cru La Réserve de l’Obedience has a similar nose to the regular cuvée, but everything here is much more intense. There’s brilliant delineation, with plenty of citrus fruit, crushed stone and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. Wonderful! The palate is very well balanced with a crisp entry, just the right amount of bitterness and real depth, all delivered with harmony and grace. This is a very impressive Blanchot that will age with style. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.

This elegant, complex and firmly structured version is interwoven with lemon, peach, apple, floral and flint aromas and flavors. A steely edge and vibrant acidity drive the extensive aftertaste. Drink now through 2030. 290 cases made, 58 cases imported.
