2021 Benjamin Laroche 'La Manufacture' Chablis Premier Cru Beauroy
Taste: In the glass, the wine shows a pale straw hue with green reflections. Aromatically, it opens with white nectarine, lemon curd, and crushed oyster shell, layered with hints of chamomile, flint, and faint almond skin. The palate is supple and elegant, with a smooth midweight texture supported by bright acidity. Flavors of green apple, Meyer lemon, and wet stone unfold slowly, balanced by a subtle saline edge and soft leesy grip. The finish is persistent and lifted, carrying notes of citrus pith, chalk, and a touch of savory herb. Pairing: This premier cru Chablis is best matched with dishes that allow its mineral core and crisp acidity to shine, while complementing its gentle roundness from lees aging. Seafood, shellfish, pasta, and light poultry dishes all pair wonderfully. About. Domaine Benjamin Laroche is based in the historic town of Chablis, in northern Burgundy.
