ABOUT THE WINERY
Chardonnay is part of the DNA of Laroche from Chablis to Languedoc, where it owns Mas la
Chevalière with 32.5 hectares of two particularly unique terroirs: one dedicated to Syrah and
one to Chardonnay. Today, thanks to the selection of cool climate terroirs and their unique
high standard wine cellar, Laroche offers a varietal range that balances freshness and subtle
aromas, linked to the Laroche signature.
ABOUT THE WINE
A flagship wine of Laroche in the Languedoc, the Chardonnay comes from a wide range
of origins to build complexity in the wine, including: Limoux, Minervois, Béziers, Agde,
Bédarieux, Montpellier and Nimes. All areas are under maritime influence which provides
cooler, fresher conditions. The soil is varied, with clay and limestone predominant. Vine age
varies from 15-25 years at 4,000 vines per hectare (1,619 vines per acre).
