This wine was tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chablis Grand Cru les Blanchots from Laroche has a light but delineated bouquet with flinty scents developing in the glass. The palate is crisp citrus fruit on the entry; there is quite piercing acidity leading to a linear, ginger infused finish. It just misses the personality that is demonstrated last year, but I would give this another year or two in bottle.
