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.

2022 Local Growers Semillon, Rockford
£3300
Rockford Wines is one of Australia’s most cherished small producers, celebrated for its steadfast commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and the preservation of Barossa Valley’s rich viticultural heritage. Based in a heritage-listed stone winery in Krondorf, Rockford sources fruit from a trusted network of local growers, many of whom have worked with the winery for decades.

The Local Growers Semillon is a tribute to these longstanding partnerships and the Semillon grape itself, a historically significant but increasingly rare variety in the Barossa. While Semillon is often overlooked in favour of more fashionable whites, Rockford embraces its heritage, producing a wine of quiet confidence and superb ageing potential. Fruit is often picked early to preserve acidity and clarity, then vinified with a light touch to retain varietal expression and texture.

In the glass, it is fresh, focused, and unmistakably Barossan. It opens with lifted aromas of lemon blossom, green apple, lime zest, and a hint of beeswax. The palate is dry, crisp, and beautifully structured with flavours of citrus peel, white peach, and subtle herb notes that glide across a fine, chalky texture. A vibrant line of acidity adds drive and precision, finishing clean, savoury, and refreshingly long.

£3540
Expressive aromas lead to a deeply fruity palate displaying notes of red and black cherry layered with rich notes of mocha. Supple, silky tannins envelop the smooth palate through to a long finish. This wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance.

Situated between these extremes, lay the Rockburn vineyards, which are producing Pinot Noir of stunning quality.
