Cuvée Zéro, with no added sulfur, is the latest addition to Domaine Laroche. It has a vinous nose like that of a champagne, with aromas of citrus, apple, toasted nuts, and dried stone fruits, accompanied by buttery, mineral, and salty notes. Dry and refreshing, the palate offers clear and structured mineral nuances, leading to an almost salty finish. A delight with grilled fish...

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

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Since 2009, the trading house, the Laroche estate, and its exceptional vineyards have belonged to the Advini group. Thanks to a skilled technical team led by oenologist Grégory Viennois, the style has been refined, with more subtle aging processes resulting in wines that are purer in expression and less rich and opulent than in the past. Perfectly ripe grapes are vinified here in barrels, without ever squeezing or masking the wines. The expression of the terroirs is very clear, but the style is not precocious.

Note and opinion by Mr. JACQUES R. Published on 10/18/2024
Unsulfured wines are either very good or very average. This one is not on the good side... A heavy wine, very nutty and lacking in minerality. Was there a problem with the bottle? The second bottle was even worse than the first, it was undrinkable... it ended up in the sink.
