Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
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 signature name in Chablis wines, the estate joined the Advini group in 2009. Michel Laroche now devotes himself to his new property, Dom. d'Henri, created from the family’s vineyards.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 96/100
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the 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 vineyards, 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 processes resulting in wines that offer greater purity of expression—less rich and opulent than in the past. Just-ripe grapes are vinified here in barrels, without ever forcing or masking the wines. The expression of the terroirs is very clear, yet the style is not premature.
