Chablis Blanchots Laroche 2018 (750ML)

93 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Notes of fresh bread, orange oil, crisp orchard fruit, apricot and almond paste introduce the 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine that's ample and nicely concentrated for the vintage, with chalky grip and a saline finish." 08/21

95 Points, Tim Atkin MW, Decanter: "Domaine Laroche are the dominant vineyard owner in this Grand Cru, with 4.56 out of a total of 12ha, spread over eight different parcels. Early picked to retain focus and salinity, this is one of a series of impressive wines in 2018, showing praiseworthy mastery of the vintage conditions. Sappy, pithy and stony, this carries its 90% wood very lightly, showing a long, refreshing, sea breeze finish." 07/19
