The most prized Grand Cru of Chablis, sublimated by the know-how of Domaine Laroche, expresses an intense minerality and an exceptional finesse. Its unfailing power and its dizzying elegance make it a reference. A great tasting moment with power, intense aromatic and structure, and great aging potential. About the Producer The history of Domaine Laroche starts in 1850 and is closely related to the development of Chablis and its vineyard. At that time, there is neither legal delimitation of the vineyard, nor growth classification: wine producers have to explore the vineyard to find the best places and, doing so, they are the heirs of the Cistercian monks. Laroche was among these pioneers. One century later, Laroche uses technical innovation to reveal the distinctive profile of its terroirs and their remarkable Chablis personality. The endless seek for great terroirs has been a landmark for the past 20 years: in Languedoc, Chili and South Africa, the first step of Laroche is always the discovery of exceptional terroirs and setting of state-of-the-art wineries. Domaine Laroche is one of the largest vineyard owners in Burgundy, with offices located in the birthplace of Chablis: a ninth to sixteenth century listed monastery called l’Obédiencerie, where monks made the first Chablis.
