Gift Box of 2023 Chablis, Michel Laroche et Ses Enfants, Le Domaine d'Henri

Chablis, Burgundy, France

Bring a little Burgundian elegance to Christmas with this gift-boxed Chablis from the Laroche family. Fresh, finely textured and full of character, it is a thoughtful present for someone who loves white Burgundy, a generous thank-you for a festive host or a delicious companion to the season’s seafood and celebrations. With a respected Chablis name behind it and plenty of immediate drinking appeal, this is a gift to open with anticipation and share with pleasure.

Bright, expressive and beautifully poised, this Chablis combines lively citrus with the gentle generosity of ripe orchard fruit. Lemon zest, crisp pear and a touch of melon unfold alongside white flowers, subtle herbs and a flinty freshness. There is an appealing purity to the aromas, with delicate almond notes adding depth while the fruit remains clear and inviting.

The palate brings together a supple, lightly rounded texture and the refreshing acidity that makes Chablis so compelling. Juicy fruit gives the wine breadth, while a chalky, saline edge keeps everything precise and carries into a clean, lingering finish. It offers enough texture to partner richer dishes without losing its appetite-whetting freshness. Already delicious, this is a bottle to enjoy over the festive season, with the balance to develop a little more savoury complexity over the next couple of years.

For when: The seafood is on ice, the guests are arriving and the first present is ready to pour.

Pairs with: Serve with oysters and lemon, smoked salmon blinis, scallops with beurre blanc, roast chicken with tarragon, crab linguine or a creamy leek tart.

Le Domaine d’Henri was founded in 2010 by Michel Laroche, one of Chablis’ most influential figures, alongside his children Margaux and Romain and wife Cécile. After decades leading the renowned Domaine Laroche, Michel returned to his roots, keeping the historic family vineyards and creating a more intimate, terroir-driven domaine named in tribute to his father, Henri.

The Kimmeridgian marl soils, ancient limestone rich in fossilised seashells, lend this Chablis its signature flinty edge and mineral precision. The 2023 vintage is vibrant and expressive, showing the Laroche hallmark of purity and poise: crisp, layered, and unmistakably Chablis.

Michel Laroche comes from five generations of Chablis winegrowers and spent more than four decades developing Domaine Laroche into an internationally recognised name. After stepping back from that business, he retained vineyards inherited from his parents alongside his own holdings, creating Le Domaine d’Henri as a smaller family venture. Its name honours his father, while his daughters Cécile and Margaux continue the family’s involvement.

The vineyards lie in Chablis, northern Burgundy, where Chardonnay develops its distinctive freshness on limestone-rich soils. Historic family holdings include old vines in the renowned Fourchaume Premier Cru, providing an important link with earlier generations. Alongside the domaine wines, the Michel Laroche et Ses Enfants range draws on estate fruit and grapes from a longstanding grower partner.

Organic cultivation, careful soil management and restrained cellar work underpin the estate’s approach. The domaine’s own vineyards have been certified organic since 2022, while native yeasts and limited intervention help preserve the character of the fruit. Across the range, the emphasis falls on clarity, balance and the individual qualities of each vineyard.

Made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced from estate vineyards and a longstanding partner grower, with parcels situated across the Chablis appellation. The Michel Laroche et Ses Enfants range is designed to highlight fruit, freshness and the distinctive mineral character of the region.

Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Stainless steel preserves the wine’s bright citrus and orchard-fruit character, allowing its natural freshness to remain central to the style.

Ageing on fine lees brings gentle texture and depth, supporting the fruit without introducing prominent oak flavours. The result is a dry, lively Chablis with sufficient breadth for the table and an appealing balance between crispness and roundness.

Alcohol: 12.5%. Recommended drinking window: now–2028.
