Le Domaine d'Henri

Le Domaine d’Henri may be a relatively young name, but its roots in Chablis reach back through generations of the Laroche family. Michel Laroche established the domaine with his daughters, Cécile and Margaux, in 2012, returning to the family vineyards after more than four decades at the helm of Domaine Laroche. It was named in honour of Michel’s father, Henri, who dedicated his life to building the family’s vineyard holdings alongside his wife, Madeleine.

Today, the family farms around 22 hectares across Petit Chablis, Chablis and the Premier Cru vineyards of Beauroy and Fourchaume. Some of its most treasured vines were planted in 1937, bringing extraordinary depth and concentration to the old-vine cuvées. The estate has been certified organic since 2022, with the vineyards worked without herbicides or synthetic treatments and every grape harvested by hand.

Margaux Laroche now leads the winemaking, combining her father’s deep knowledge of Chablis with a thoughtful, quietly adventurous approach. Fermentations begin naturally with indigenous yeasts, while stainless steel, large oak vessels and sandstone jars are used according to the needs of each parcel. The wines capture the freshness, citrus energy and chalky minerality of Chablis, while old vines and patient maturation bring texture, depth and remarkable ageing potential.
