The vineyard

A gem of the Chablis vineyard, Domaine Laroche cultivates its 90 hectares in accordance with a comprehensive agro-ecological approach. No chemical inputs are used, treatments are based on natural plant-based preparations, in harmony with the vine cycle and its ecosystem.

The wine

Among the Premier Crus of Chablis, the Les Fourchaumes Vieilles Vignes cuvée stands out as one of the most prestigious. Originating from a 2.44-hectare terroir facing south and west, this cuvée comes from 70-year-old vines that give the wine depth and complexity. This great white wine from Burgundy seduces with its elegance, its typical Chablis mineral intensity, and its refined style. It is Vegan and High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3 certified.

Vinification and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes are carefully sorted before vinification. This takes place both in oak barrels and in stainless steel tanks, as does the aging. After blending, further refinement on fine lees is carried out for nearly eight months, enhancing the texture and aromatic complexity of the wine.

Grape variety

This Chablis 1er cru "Les Fourchaumes Vieilles Vignes" 2023 from Domaine Laroche is 100% chardonnay.
