The 2024 Laroche Chablis Saint Martin is a classic and mineral-driven Chardonnay from Chablis in Burgundy, France, produced by the historic Domaine Laroche. Sourced from select vineyard parcels planted on Kimmeridgian limestone soils, this cuvée reflects the freshness, precision and saline minerality that define traditional Chablis. The 2024 vintage delivered bright citrus fruit, vibrant acidity and excellent balance, showing the charm and purity of a cooler Chablis growing season.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a finely textured structure that provides both freshness and elegance. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple and white peach unfold alongside chalky mineral notes and delicate floral nuances. Careful lees ageing enhances texture and complexity without overshadowing the purity of the fruit, while the limestone-rich terroir contributes notable tension and persistence. The finish is clean, dry and refreshing with lingering citrus and saline mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chablis for customers seeking a fresh, mineral-focused Chardonnay with classic regional character and strong food-pairing versatility. The 2024 vintage is highly approachable now and best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years. Best served lightly chilled with oysters, grilled seafood, sushi, roast chicken or soft cheeses.
