The 2023 Le Domaine d'Henri Chablis Saint Pierre is a beautifully expressive village Chablis from the Laroche family, crafted from organically farmed vineyards with an average vine age of 40 years. Sourced mainly from the limestone-rich soils of Maligny, the wine is hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in a combination of stainless steel, amphora and seasoned oak on fine lees. The nose is fresh and elegant, revealing lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered with white flowers, flint and classic chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, a silky texture and impressive mineral tension. Bright citrus and orchard fruit are complemented by subtle lees complexity and a saline edge, leading to a long, precise finish that is both fresh and refined. Elegant yet beautifully structured, this is a classic Chablis with the depth to reward several years in the cellar.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Le Domaine d'Henri Chablis Saint Pierre is a superb partner for oysters, grilled scallops, lobster, roast chicken, seafood pasta or fresh goat's cheese. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2033 while its vibrant fruit, mineral precision and complexity continue to evolve.
