Established by his father in the 1970s, Pierrick's family vineyard holdings have gradually expanded over time, resulting in the current size of around 33 hectares. After obtaining a degree in oenology from Beaune, Pierrick embarked on a journey to gain valuable experience by traveling the world and undertaking various internships. Armed with knowledge and a deep passion for winemaking, he returned home to take over the family vineyards and start producing his own wines. Pierrick's cellars, ingeniously built into the side of a hill in the village, allow for much of the winemaking process to be conducted by gravity ensuring gentle handling of the grapes. The vinification takes place traditionally in stainless steel tanks, while some of the Premier and Grand Cru wines undergo a small portion of aging in used barrels, allowing for a full malolactic fermentation. One of his oldest vineyard plots, Les Châtillons, planted in the early 1970s, sits just behind the hill of the Grand Crus and showcases the meticulous use of barrel aging, which adds complexity and depth to the cuvée. In 2016, Pierrick expanded his range by starting a small négoce operation, sourcing must from friends who predominantly farm on the left side of the river. This addition includes premier crus such as Beauroy, Beauregard and Vau de Vey, as well as the grand cru of Bougros. In 2019, Pierrick inherited 8 acres of vines from his father-in-law in the southern sector of Chablis, around the village of Courgis. This inheritance includes Petit Chablis, 5.5 acres of Chablis and just over half an acre of the premier cru Les Butteaux. Pierrick Laroche's dedication to his craft is evident in every bottle of wine he produces. With a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, his wines showcase the unique terroir of Chablis, captivating enthusiasts with their finesse, complexity and distinct character. As Pierrick continues to nurture and expand his vineyards, he upholds the family legacy while leaving his own mark on the world of Chablis winemaking. The name of Pierrick's Domaine, \"hâtes\" refers to an old agricultural unit of measure, similar to the English rod. It evokes the long and slender fields used for sowing, where the longer rows made plowing easier with fewer turns.

On the nose, this Chablis reveals an enticing bouquet of aromas, with delicate floral notes and hints of ripe orchard fruits. The palate is treated to a harmonious balance of flavors, where the vibrant acidity intertwines with layers of citrus, white peach and a touch of minerality. The wine's complexity is further enhanced by a subtle oak influence, adding depth and structure to the overall profile. The Domaine des Hâtes Pierrick Laroche Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume L'Homme Mort 2018 has garnered praise from critics, with its exceptional quality and expression of terroir. As a Premier Cru Chablis, this wine represents the unique characteristics of the Fourchaume climat. The limestone terroir, with its younger Portlandian limestone overlaying the Kimmeridgian, imparts a distinct character to the wine. Pierrick Laroche's conviction that this parcel of Petit Chablis should be classified as Chablis is evident in the wine's Chablis-like qualities and its proximity to AOC Chablis vines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePierrick Laroche owns just over a hectare in l’Homme Mort, with his vines thirty years of age.

With nearly 12 hectares of Petit Chablis vineyards, Pierrick Laroche's dedication to quality winemaking is evident in every sip. Petit Chablis is classified as such due to the presence of younger Portlandian limestone, rather than the older Kimmeridgian limestone found in other Chablis classifications.

L'Homme Mort is one of Fourchaume's distinctive sub-climats and lies on contours that echo the celebrated Grand Cru slopes further south. Pierrick Laroche's vines here average around 25 years of age, with some approaching 35 years, and are rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone and clay-rich soils. The 2023 combines ripe yellow citrus and white fruit with floral, chalky and stony notes, showing both the breadth of Fourchaume and the mineral precision associated with Chablis.

Sourced from one of the estate’s oldest plots, planted in the early 1970s behind the Grand Cru hill in the valley of Fontenay, the vineyard features highly calcareous Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Winemaker Pierrick Laroche applies a refined winemaking approach, using gravity-flow handling in his hillside cellar to gently process the fruit. A small portion of the cuvée is fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels to build texture and complexity, while the majority matures in stainless steel to retain primary fruit purity and classic chalky tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage displays remarkable aromatic depth and poise, opening with aromas of ripe lemon, green apple, white peach, crushed limestone, and subtle white blossom. On the palate, the magnum format enhances its generous, concentrated texture, balanced by energetic acidity and a distinct saline mineral core. Layers of citrus pith, orchard fruit, and subtle savory lees elements unfold effortlessly across a structured mid-palate. The finish is long, dry, and focused with a lingering marine mineral tail, making it a stellar companion to fresh oysters, sea scallops, grilled fish, and creamy poultry dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Perfumed, citrus-driven and mineral\u003cbr\u003eRipe lemon, green apple, white peach, white blossom, wet limestone, and crushed oyster shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Concentrated, textural and vibrant\u003cbr\u003eLayered citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle lees complexity supported by bright acidity and chalky minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, dry and saline\u003cbr\u003eA persistent, precise finish with lingering lemon zest and a clean saline mineral drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBrand - Domaine des Hâtes\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Chablis\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 1500ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Village\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine des Hâtes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44334854635607,"sku":"PLCH-CHAT-23-1.5L","price":159.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/Domaine_des_Hates_Pierrick_Laroche_Chablis_Les_Chatillons_2023_1.5L.webp?v=1790759673"}],"url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/collections\/domaine-des-hates-pierrick-laroche.oembed?page=2","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
