2023 Pierrick Laroche Domaine Des Hates Organic Petit Chablis, Burgundy

Pierrick Laroche Domaine des Hates Organic Petit Chablis from Burgundy is a crisp, vibrant white wine that delivers pure Chablis character with an extra lift of freshness and finesse. Grown in organically farmed vineyards just outside the village of Maligny, this Petit Chablis is anything but basic. It captures the energy of the region’s limestone rich soils and cool climate with precision and clarity.

Pierrick Laroche established Domaine des Hates in 2010 after taking over his family’s vineyards and converting them to certified organic farming. With a degree in oenology and a deep connection to his land, Laroche focuses on minimal intervention and vineyard expression. His wines have quickly gained recognition for their purity and elegance, offering a true sense of place without relying on heavy oak or manipulation.

The Petit Chablis vines are planted on Portlandian limestone at higher altitudes, where cooler temperatures preserve acidity and drive mineral intensity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with native yeasts and the wine is aged on lees for added texture and complexity while retaining its clean, brisk style.

In the glass, this organic Petit Chablis offers aromas of lemon zest, green apple, chalk and white flowers. The palate is crisp and precise with citrus, crushed oyster shell and a long saline finish. It’s energetic and mouthwatering, with a fine line of minerality that makes it perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, goat cheese or sushi.
