Benjamin Laroche, La Manufacture, Chablis, 1er Cru Vaillons, 2015

Tasted by:
(at Cambridge, UK, 25 May 2020)
Drinking Window: 2020 - 2025
Coming from the large Premier Cru of Vaillons and made from old vines, winemaker Benjamin Laroche has crafted a dense, honeyed Chablis that’s waxy and fruit driven with little obvious oak influence. It’s still drinking very young with pear and nectarine fruit and a lemon tart acidity.
