The Cuvée Zéro, with no added sulfur, is Domaine Laroche’s newest release. It has a vinous nose reminiscent of champagne, with aromas of citrus, apple, toasted nuts, and dried stone fruits, accompanied by buttery, mineral, and briny notes. Dry and refreshing on the palate, it offers clear, well-structured mineral nuances, leading to an almost briny finish. A delight with grilled fish...

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from 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 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.

Review and rating by Mr. JACQUES R. Published on October 18, 2024

Unsulfured wines are either very good or very mediocre. This one isn’t on the good side… A heavy wine with a very pronounced nutty flavor and no minerality. Is there something wrong with the bottle? The second bottle was even worse than the first—it’s undrinkable… it ended up down the drain.
