The 2024 Laroche Chablis Les Chanoines is a fresh and mineral-driven Chardonnay from Chablis in Burgundy, France, produced by the historic Domaine Laroche. Named in tribute to the canons of Saint-Martin de Tours who helped develop viticulture in Chablis, this cuvée is sourced from select village-level parcels grown on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Produced entirely in stainless steel and aged on fine lees, the wine reflects the purity, freshness and crystalline minerality that define traditional Chablis. The 2024 vintage delivered bright citrus fruit, vibrant acidity and strong mineral precision.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a finely textured structure that gives the wine freshness and energy. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple and white peach unfold alongside saline mineral notes and delicate floral nuances. The Kimmeridgian soils contribute notable flinty tension and finesse, while lees ageing adds subtle texture without compromising vibrancy. The finish is clean, dry and refreshing with lingering citrus and mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday Chablis for customers seeking a fresh, mineral-focused Chardonnay with classic regional character and strong food-pairing versatility. The 2024 vintage is best enjoyed young while its freshness and precision are at their peak over the next 3–5 years. Best served lightly chilled with oysters, grilled seafood, sushi, roast chicken or soft cheeses.
