Pierrick Laroche L'Homme Mort Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume 2021
Region: Chablis, Burgundy
Variety: Chardonnay
Country: France
Vintage: 2021
The Wine
Sourced from a 1.1 ha parcel on steep Kimmeridgian limestone slopes, Pierrick Laroche farms 25–35‑year‑old vines in Fourchaume’s “L’Homme Mort.” Grapes undergo native-yeast fermentation over 2–3 months in a gravity-fed cellar, aged 60% in stainless steel and 40% in older oak, then bottled after 18 months. The result is a crystalline, mineral-driven Premier Cru with tension and poise.
Cellared Says
Lithe, saline, and beautifully precise – a textbook Fourchaume built to age gracefully.
Wine Reviews
“Incredibly pure and precise, with floral citrus, chalky texture and a lithe, long finish. A mix of tank and barrel – 60% tank. Protected by aspersion here. Direct, floral, beautifully precise – that’s super! Hmm, so melting and silky, just a gorgeous wine here finishing more linear and always completely delicious”
