2023 Laroche Reserve Chardonnay

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Lifted aromas of pear and lime mix with wet slate, subtle fresh herb and flinty mineral notes. Fleshy pear and lime fruits are delivered with terrific concentration and carry a rounded river stone like textural feel. Stony mineral characters, oyster shell and fresh herb infusions lie underneath. Brisk acidity lends energy to the long stony mineral laced finish. Very Chablis like and great value.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 12.5%
