  2022 Chablis, Michel Laroche et Ses Enfants, Le Domaine d”Henri

  £3000

  Laroche is a famous name in Chablis, with family history dating as far back as 1695. Michel Laroche is the patriarch of the family and after decades as the director of Domaine Laroche he decided in 2010 to sell his stake in this business, keeping the historic vineyards that he had inherited, and created a family domaine with his children Margaux and Romain and his wife Cécile, that would be called Le Domaine d’Henri, in homage to his father.

  The Chablis region is renowned for its Kimmeridgian marl, a limestone-rich clay formed over 160 million years ago from fossilized marine deposits. This unique soil imparts a distinct minerality and sharp edge to Chablis wines.

  The wine expresses flint, herbal notes and citrus in the nose, classic traits of Chablis. Bright crisp acidity provides tension and backbone to the ripe flavors of melon, pear and almonds. Wonderfully versatile with food, this wine is as serious or playful as you would like.

  notes, floral hints and toasted nuts through to a vibrant, saline finish.

The schistous marl produces shallow soils, which force the vines to send their roots deep in search of water and nutrients. The vineyard is certified

  2020 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune`Sous Eguisons`, Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard

  £3795

  Caroline Lestimé, winemaker at Jean-Noël Gagnard, decided to plant Chardonnay vines on this plot of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, back in 2007.   The vineyard is in La Rochepot, on an embankment overlooking and bordering the western part of the Saint-Aubin appellation Le Ban. The name “Sous Éguisons” refers to the cliff above the vineyard. The cliff offers protection from the north winds, which is a significant advantage given how harsh the climate is and how bitter the spring frosts are at this altitude. The natural growth cycle of the vines is also slower and the grapes mature a full week later than at lower levels.

  The wine itself is a revelation, pure, pristine and delicious.  The matchstick mineral nose shows pure lemony fruit with a hint of florality. The palate is linear and precise with taut lemony fruit and a fine tangy, stony mineral quality. There’s just the faintest hint of spicy, toasty oak, but the real theme here is pure, vital lemon fruit with great precision and lovely integrated acidity.
