THE COMPANY
Domaine Laroche is one of the most important wine producers in Chablis, in northern Burgundy. In addition to its excellent mineral wines made from Chardonnay grapes, the company has interests in more distant regions such as Languedoc, Chile, and South Africa.
The Domaine was founded in Chablis in 1850 by a vineyard worker, Jean Victor Laroche. After five generations in the family, Domaine Laroche has become one of the largest producers of Chablis. It offers 6 hectares of grand cru vineyards with soils in Les Blanchots, Les Bougros, and Les Clos, as well as another 30 hectares of premier cru vineyards. Despite these estates, 70 percent of Laroche's production is actually dedicated to the village of Chablis, including its flagship wine Saint Martin. There is also a single Petit Chablis in the Laroche portfolio. In 2014, Domaine Laroche launched a single vineyard from the village of Chablis called Vieille Voye. This is an unknown practice as most of the Burgundy village wines are blended from multiple sites.
Recently, Michel Laroche has led an expansion of the brand into new regions. An estate in Languedoc named Mas La Chevalièr offers regional varieties not found in Burgundy, including Syrah, Grenache, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier. In 2002, Laroche ventured into Chile with the property Viña Punto Alto, which produces under the label Viña Laroche. The fruit comes from the Casablanca, Maipo, and Colchagua valleys and includes Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. In the same year, Laroche also acquired the L'Avener winery in South Africa.
In the early 2000s, Domaine Laroche became the first estate in Burgundy to adopt screw caps for its entire range, including all grand and premier cru wines. In 2009, the company merged with Languedoc negociant Jeanjean to become Advini. Along with Domaine Laroche and its new global initiatives, Advini owns wineries throughout southern France, as well as in Bordeaux and the southern Rhône valley.
