DOMAINE LAROCHE - Chablis Saint Martin 2019
- Description
The best plots and grapes only, this is how Chablis Saint Martin is made.
If they could speak, the walls of the Obédiencerie in DOMAINE LAROCHE would tell the wonderful story of Chablis wines. Over centuries, the canons of the Obédiencerie have built a strong reputation for these wines thanks to their exceptional vineyards and also their sense for quality.
When life becomes legend
Saint Martin was born in Hungary in 316. He was an officer in the Roman army. He converted to the Christian worship that was his deep belief from his childhood. During a night watch in Gaul, he met a beggar and gave him half of his coat that he cut with his sword. When he died in 397, his relics were kept in Tours, where an abbey was founded and dedicated to him. It became an important place of pilgrimage very soon.
Nearly five centuries later, the abbots of Tours are threatened by the Normans and send the relics in one of their well-hidden properties, the Obédiencerie de Chablis. The niche where the relics were kept is still exposed, in the remains of a tower, in the middle of aging wines.
The terroir of Chablis has both excellent acidity and remarkable finesse. Thanks to a long ageing on fine lees, Chablis Saint Martin offers the typical minerality of the best terroirs of the wine region. Perfect as an aperitif or to pair with seafood, prawns or fish.

Established in 2009, SIMPLY WINES has been searching the world over for hard to find wines.
Being Victorian, we do have a soft spot for regions like the Yarra Valley, Beechworth, Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong. We still love classic South Australian Shiraz from the Clare Valley, Barossa, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra, and who can pass up some of the most prestigious wines in Australia from Margaret River in Western Australia.
Not forgetting Tasmania with the superb Pinot Noir and Riesling. Let's also mention the Hunter Valley and Canberra wine regions.
