DOMAINE LAROCHE CHABLIS ST MARTIN 2009 MAGNUM

This is one very serious village level Chablis. It has all the classic green fruit, minerally undertones and that famous Chablis "zip"! And best of all, and in keeping with the "proper" style of Chablis (in my humble...), it's unoaked. Hooorah!

VINEYARD
Saint Martin refers to the patron saint of Chablis, whose relics were kept in the domaine's ancient monastery for many years.

Domaine Laroche owns 63 hectares of Chablis vineyard on the famous Kimmeridgian soil that gives the wines such precision. Each plot has a different exposure, soil depth and vine age which contributes complexity to the wine, and means that every parcel ripens at a different time.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Chardonnay

VINIFICATION
Harvest lasted from 20th September to 7th October.

The grapes were pressed and settled for 12 hours in wide tanks, to aid sedimentation and minimise the need for sulphur dioxide. The fermentation lasted 14 days at 17 degrees, followed by full malolactic fermentation.

Bentonite was used to fine the wine before six months. ageing on lees. Filtration was light, to preserve the natural body of the wine.

TASTING NOTE
Vibrant yellow in colour, with flecks of green. The wine is lively and fresh on the nose, with intense pear, red apple and spice notes. On the palate it is generous in body, with a classic mineral zip and lively acidity to match. The finish is long, clean and precise, with an attractive, creamy feel. It is unoaked.
