Winery Domaine Laroche

The historic cellars of Domaine Laroche are located in the Obédiencerie of Chablis, a complex with cellars dating back to the Middle Ages where the canons of Saint Martin practiced winemaking. The house’s modern origins are linked to Jean Victor Laroche, who purchased the first vineyards in the Maligny area around 1850. Since then the estate has grown, consolidating the family's and the domaine's role in the Chablis region and continuing to raise and mature its Premier and Grand Cru wines in the historic cellars.

The winery's philosophy focuses on enhancing the terroir and the clean expression of Chardonnay: respect for the soil, careful vineyard management, and an approach geared toward sustainability and quality, with aging and refinement in the historic cellars. In recent years production has evolved to include sustainable practices and initiatives toward organic/biodynamic viticulture and reduced intervention in the vineyard.

The vineyards are located in the Chablis area of Burgundy, characterized by Kimmeridgian limestone marl and the Serein River. The domaine cultivates parcels across the various Chablis appellation levels and uses the millennia-old cellars of the Obédiencerie for ageing.
