Delicacy and balance in a benchmark vintage from Chablis!
Rated domain ** RVF and ***/**** Robert ParkerCharming, just like its cousins from the Côte d’Or, this Les Beauroys 2002 1er Cru It certainly is. This is likely due to the estate’s winemaking style, which emphasizes lactic notes to soften the sometimes overly sharp minerality imparted by the terroir. Supple and delicate, it possesses a beautiful structure and its characteristic aromas: an enticing bouquet of cream and hazelnuts with a subtle hint of oak. This wine is a delight—one to discover and serve with fish in a creamy sauce…

About the estate:
As both a wine merchant and producer, Michel Laroche is one of the leading figures in the Chablis region. With a vineyard that has grown from 6 hectares in the late 1960s to 100 hectares today, the estate—founded in 1850—is headquartered at the Obédiencerie, a former monastery built above a 9th-century crypt that once housed the relics of Saint Martin. A defining name in Chablis wines, the estate joined the Advini group in 2009. Michel Laroche now devotes himself to his new estate, Dom. d’Henri, created from the family’s vineyards.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
The wine merchant, along with the Laroche estate and its exceptional vineyard holdings, has been part of the Advini Group since 2009. Thanks to a skilled technical team led by winemaker Grégory Viennois, the style has become more refined, with more subtle aging techniques resulting in wines that exhibit greater purity of expression—less rich and opulent than in the past. Grapes harvested at just the right ripeness are vinified in barrels here, without ever forcing or masking the wines’ character. The terroir’s expression is very clear, yet the wines do not come across as premature.
