2021 MARGAUX LAROCHE ‘821 BRUT NATURE’ - chardonnay - chablis, fr
Pear, lemon, brioche… sorry, is this not a champagne?
WHY WE LOVE IT:
Chablis is known for its incredibly pure, focused chardonnay, but not for its pet nat. Enter this little number from winemaker Michel Laroche at Le Domaine d'Henri, which is technically not allowed to be called Chablis due to strict appellation laws, but is 100% chardonnay (blanc de blancs) sparkling deliciousness… we hesitate to call this fun because its actually quite complex, but it is all fun and games when you can get quality champagne styled sparkling wine sans the price tag of champagne!
