The Chablis Saint Martin is a blending of the most beautiful plots of the domaine’s within the appellation. The terroir of Chablis located on the  Kimmeridgian soil has both excellent acidity and remarkable finesse. Thanks to a long aging on fine lees, Chablis Saint Martin offers the typical minerality.

Grape Source: 100% Chardonnay

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.

The 2019 vintage bore all the extremes in April and May with night frosts followed by 3 heat waves at the end of June, end of July and end of August. The vineyard suffered from almost no disease therefore very few treatments were applied. The harvest started gently on September 10th. The grapes were perfectly healthy. The wines are very well balanced forecasting a vintage similar to 2017.

The best selection of Domaine Laroche’s vineyards. 2-3 weeks of fermentation at 16 – 20°C in stainless steel vats. Aging in steel tanks and “foudres” – large oak casks – of 55hl (15%) on fine lees. Malolactic fermentation and 6 months aging in the same vessel types. Then, the wine will be blended and aged further on fine lees for about 4 months.
