Domaine Laroche Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourchaume Vielles Vignes 2012
Chablis, Burgundy, FranceFrom a windy site near the top of the hill, this is a massale selection and old vines. Taut, lemon-lined, with fennel, herbal wheat, white asparagus, lemon verbena, honeysuckle perfume on a base of flint. Bitter herbal pear and aged parmesan lingers on the earthy finish. Quite generous, with concentrated phenols from thicker skins finishing with a salty, chalky tug. Many layers and concentration, which will reward fully with cellaring for 5+ years.Tasted: 18 January 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $42.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
