Readers will find much to explore in this range from Domaine Laroche and its sister negociant label, called simply Laroche. One of the differences between the two ranges, other than of course provenance, is in elevage. The Domaine Laroche wines are partially or entirely done in 225 and 600 liter barrels, while the Laroche wines see no small wood, only cask. Because of the partial and/or whole vinification in oak, the Domaine Laroche and Laroche wines occupy a spot towards the richer end of the spectrum within Chablis. The 2012 harvest started on September 24 with Vau de Vey and ended on October 8 with Cote de Lechets and Bougros. I also tasted a number of 2012 1er and Grand Crus, but as is often the case here, those wines are hard to assess young because of the long lees aging favored by the domaine. The 2012s appear to have plenty of energy and resonance, but is still very early. Still, the entry-level wines bode well for the rest of the range. In the meantime, there is plenty to admire from the 2011s, a vintage Winemaker Gregory Viennois compares 2011 to 2005 for its spiced, slightly exotic personality. With their lower acidities and supple personalities, the 2011s will offer plenty of pleasure right out of the gate.
