Domaine Laroche Chablis 1er Cru L'Homme Mort is a Chardonnay from the Chablis 1er Cru appellation in Burgundy, France, made by Domaine Laroche from the 2023 vintage. The name L'Homme Mort, meaning dead man, may come from a corruption of l'orme mort, the dead elm once used to mark the vineyard boundary. Another account points to a small cemetery at the valley entrance, where sarcophagi from the Merovingian era were found.
Aromas of citrus, green apple, and spice lead into a racy, concentrated wine balanced between subtlety and delicacy. Saffron notes add depth, and typical minerality is balanced by vibrant acidity, ending in a long, harmonious finish with an iodized edge.
