Laroche Chablis Les Blanchots Grand Cru 2020 (750ML)

94-96 JM / 91 WS

All is made in wood, but not necessarily recent – there are for example some twenty year old demi-muids. Clear brisk pale primrose. The bouquet is also fresh on the white limestone. Powerful with spice behind, an extraordinary intensity from the marl, all in white clothing. A bit of hawthorn here. Yet with a real linear intensity. Really quite special with an interesting nutty touch from the wood. Grégory talks of the powdery texture. Tasted: July 2021—Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy

Bright and expressive, this white sports apple, lemon, spring meadow and gravel dust flavors. The vibrant structure holds court on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2028. 500 cases made, 75 cases imported. - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
