The 2024 Laroche Petit Chablis is a fresh and vibrant Chardonnay from the northern reaches of Burgundy’s Chablis region in France, produced by the historic Domaine Laroche. Sourced from vineyards planted on Portlandian limestone soils, this wine reflects the bright acidity, mineral purity and youthful charm that define quality Petit Chablis. The 2024 vintage delivered lively citrus fruit and excellent freshness, with the nose revealing aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white flowers alongside delicate chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and an energetic, refreshing structure. Flavours of citrus, green orchard fruits and subtle stone fruit unfold alongside saline mineral notes that add tension and finesse. Vinification in stainless steel preserves purity and aromatic clarity, while the limestone-rich soils contribute the classic mineral-driven character associated with Chablis. The finish is clean, dry and refreshing with lingering citrus and flinty nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent entry-level Chablis for customers seeking a fresh, mineral-focused Chardonnay with classic Burgundian character and strong food-pairing versatility. The 2024 vintage is best enjoyed young while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak over the next 2–5 years. Best served lightly chilled with oysters, grilled seafood, sushi, salads or soft cheeses.
