Tasting Notes:

A vintage that reveals the limestone and the singularity of the terroirs of Chablis. Dress, pale yellow, limpid and brilliant. Lez nose opens on notes of chalks, flowers white and fresh fruits like the apple. Fermentations partly in lightning oak (30 years) bring subtle and complex notes of fresh undergrowth and of cedar. Taste and mineral mouth, long and saline finish.


Technical:

The summer conditions are dry with temperatures above seasonal norms ( 37 C) which favored the advanced veraison of 8 days compared to the last year. Autumn and mild winters. After 2 complicated years, going up to -50 of the harvest, we are looking forward to a nice 2018 harvest in quality (a vintage similar to 2015) with a return to normal in terms of the amount.

Saint Martin is a blend of the best plots of Domaine Laroche vineyards in the Chablis appellation. All plots are located on Kimmeridgian limestone soil with a west to northwest orientation. Thanks to the diverse nuances of these sources, they bring richness and complexity to the final cuve.Average of 30+ years; 6,600 vines per hectare (14,523 vines per acre); 10,000 vines per hectare (24,700 vines per acre) for younger vines; massal selection from Laroche old vines for the new plantings

One man, one plot: There are more than 30 people who are dedicated to caring for the 90-plus hectares (222.39 acres) of Domaine Laroche vineyards, with each person responsible for only one plot. This tailor-made approach allows them to manage the vineyards with precision, speed and accuracy.

Accolades & Awards:

90 Point Rated - Tim Atkin


Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

"There will be two bottlings of the 2018 Chablis St Martin, and I tasted the first, which was bottled in February 2019. It's quite reserved, revealing aromas of waxy lemon rind, apple and anise, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple palate. I'd expect the later bottling to display more tension and texture."


Jancis Robinson

"Smooth texture, vivid green-apple fruit and appetising salinity on the finish. Good, solid Chablis that ticks all the relevant stylistic boxes."


Vinous

"The 2018 Chablis Saint Martin is a soft, pretty wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Apricot, hazelnut, tangerine peel, dried flowers, mint and lightly honeyed notes all grace this airy, lilting Chablis from Laroche."


Wine Spectator

"Lean, focused and flinty, this white reveals lemon, apple and stone flavors. Fresh, delivering a clean finish."
