Finesse and balance in a benchmark Chablis vintage!

Noted domain ** RVF and ***/**** Robert Parker
Seductive, like its cousins on the Côte d'Or, this 1er cru Les Beauroys 2002 is undeniably so. This is undoubtedly the style of the domaine, which favors lactic notes to soften the sometimes too sharp minerality given by the terroir. Supple and delicate, it has a fine structure and its typical aromas: a tempting bouquet of cream and hazelnuts with a hint of oak. This wine is a delight to discover and serve with fish in cream sauce...

Rated domain (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)

About the domain :

Merchant and producer Michel Laroche is one of the leading figures in the Chablis region. With a vineyard that has grown from 6 ha in the late 1960s to 100 ha today, the estate - founded in 1850 - is based at l'Obédiencerie, a former monastery built over a 9th-century vault that once housed the relics of Saint Martin. A leading name in Chablis wines, it became part of the Advini group in 2009. Michel Laroche now turns his attention to his new estate, Dom. d'Henri, created from family vines.

Rated domain (2021 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs.)

About the domain :

Since 2009, the Advini Group has owned the trading house as well as Domaine Laroche and its exceptional vineyard estate. Thanks to a skilled technical team, led by oenologist Grégory Viennois, the style has become purer, with more subtle ageing for wines that are progressing in purity of expression, less fat and opulent than in the past. Rightly ripe grapes are vinified here in barrels, without ever squeezing or making up the wines. The expression of the terroirs is very clear, but the precocious style is not.
