2020 Domaine Laroche 'Les Fourchaumes' Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru Chablis

Winemaker Notes:  The most prestigious Premier Cru. Most of the winery’s holdings are within the Homme Mort portion of the appellation. A racy, elegant wine with intense minerality; a beautiful structure with delicate notes of white blossom and orchard fruit.

Domaine Laroche own 2.44 ha (6 acres) of this large Premier Cru of 103 ha (254.5 acres). The vines are planted on a slope well exposed to the South and West, sheltered from Northern wind. 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.
