Benjamin Laroche Chablis 2017
About the wine
Ben's fresh French Chablis is bright, elegant and intense
- Benjamin's family has made famous French Chardonnay for centuries. Thanks to you, he's able to keep this tradition alive, and make wine under his own name.
- Made mostly without oak to get the fullest flavors from these special French grapes, Ben says "Angels will be surprised by the fineness and elegance of our Chablis." With its deep, intense aromas and mouthwatering brightness, Ben adds, "Elegance and purity are the true words to describe our Chablis."
- This is true French Chablis– from its gorgeous pale gold color right down to its savory, elegant minerality. Due to recent extreme weather, area wines like this are becoming increasingly more rare– treasure it with a plate of fresh oysters while you can.
Best before
Our Chablis can be drunk young to appreciate its freshness. Of course, with time it will show some complexity and secondary aromas will develop with the age. Between 2 and 5 years is a perfect timing. It is interesting to open same vintages along the years to understand the evolution.
Serving advice
No decantation is necessary. It should not be served too fresh. Between 12 - 14 degrees is perfect.
Food match
Oysters and a typical Burgundian cheese: Chaource. Any type of seafood, raw or slightly grilled. Hard salted cheeses for the association with iodic aromas is great too.
Contains sulphites
