London is set to become, for a weekend, the wine capital of the world. On November 7 and 8, 2025, the sumptuous Landmark Hotel will host one of the most anticipated events in the wine calendar: the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter London.
For Domaine Laroche, participating in this unmissable event, organized by the renowned media group Decanter, is a unique opportunity to represent Burgundy and share our expertise with an international audience of enthusiasts.
An ‘Ode to Chardonnay’ in the Heart of London
Our presence in London is not merely a tasting; it is a sensory journey. We have designed our stand as a true exploration of the king of grape varieties: Chardonnay.
Under the theme of ‘An Ode to Chardonnay‘, we will offer visitors a unique journey, illustrating the incredible versatility of this grape variety and how faithfully it expresses each terroir, from the sunshine of the South of France to the mineral freshness of Chablis’ Kimmeridgian soil.
The Tasting Program
Here is the exclusive ‘Wine List’ that visitors can discover at our stand:
1. Introduction to the Laroche Style
- Laroche Chardonnay Réserve: The starting point of our journey. A wine that demonstrates our mastery of the grape variety beyond the Chablis borders, offering fruitiness and balance.
2. The Chablis Signature
- Chablis Saint-Martin: The emblematic cuvée that captures the spirit of the appellation with its freshness and vivacity.
3. The Complexity of the Premiers Crus
- Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaudevey: Located in a cool, narrow valley, this climat offers wines of sculpted tension and minerality.
- Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes: A different profile, more sun-drenched and profound, thanks to the deep roots of old vines that bring a rich and generous texture.
4. The Apotheosis: The Grand Cru
- Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots: The pinnacle of the tasting. A wine of rare elegance, combining aromatic power and silky finesse, a true signature of this exceptional terroir.
