Laroche Chablis Les Blanchots Grand Cru 2020 (750ML)

94-96 JM

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
