Domain Laroche, Chablis Grand Cru, Les Clos, 1995

Brilliant medium gold color. Expansive but firm mineral laden nose. Light honey aromas blend with slatey, bright ripe pear scents. Very firm in the mouth, almost tight, but it soon broadens into a multi-layered complexity. Hard stony flavors open into a hint of tart green apple fruit balanced with just a touch of butterscotch. Truly and outstanding wine that is drinking well, but still has a bit of youth showing throughout. The stony, clean flavors of the finish go on forever. You have to remind yourself this is a chardonnay. It is amazing what this vine can do in the right vineyard.
