Domaine des Hâtes Pierrick Laroche Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux

The palate is tense, chalk‑driven, and quietly powerful, with lemon, lime zest, and cool white peach leading. Acidity is racy and precise, giving a long, linear drive. A deep thread of crushed stone, saline, and oyster‑shell savourinessmarks Butteaux’s classic, more serious mineral profile. The mid‑palate is slender but concentrated, showing citrus pith, white flowers, and subtle herbal‑mineral depth. The finish is long, dry, and stony, leaving chalk dust, citrus peel, and a cool, persistent mineral echo.
