To optimally store white wine (like Laroche Chablis Saint Martin 2023 75cl) maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve its freshness and crisp character. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they may cause premature aging or spoilage.

Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct light to prevent light exposure from degrading the wine's quality. Avoid storing it in a typical refrigerator for long periods; extended refrigeration can dry out the cork and lead to faster oxidation.

Store the bottle horizontally if it has a natural cork to keep the cork moist preventing it from shrinking and allowing air to enter. This approach is less critical if the bottle uses screw caps or synthetic corks.

Maintain humidity roughly between 60-70% to avoid cork drying or mold growth.

Once opened reseal the bottle tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and store it refrigerated (at about 45°F) to slow oxidation. Consume opened white wine within 3-5 days for best quality preservation.

In summary key practical storage factors are:

- Temperature: 45-50°F (7-10°C) consistent
- Light: Keep in the dark
- Position: Horizontal for cork-sealed bottles
- Humidity: Around 60-70%
- Sealing: Original cork or airtight stopper after opening refrigerated storage for opened bottles

This will best preserve the wine’s quality and shelf life whether unopened or opened.
