INSPIRATIONS & ORIGINS
Unfailing rigor,
Benjamin LAROCHE is constantly looking for quality gems in the Vineyard. By identifying them among passionate winegrowers who perfectly master their “plot”, he then isolates these nuggets which are then distributed under the seal of excellence: the Manufacture.
Passionate about Burgundy, I decided at the age of 40, surrounded by personalities who share my values, to offer a range of wines that highlight this terroir but above all by paying tribute to manual, precise and rigorous work of winegrowers.
Benjamin LAROCHE,
Originally from Chablis, his family has exploited this terroir of Chablis in Burgundy since 1663 and created an estate considered since 1850 as one of the flagships of the appellation.
From working in the vineyards during his youth to commercial management of several wine companies, he has traveled France and the world and has been able to understand the wine market and answer its needs.

Terroir
Chablis
Chablis has a very peculiar and almost unique sedimentary basin in the world with a geological layer dating from the Upper Jurassic called Kimmeridgian. It is from this unique subsoil in Burgundy that Chablis wines draw their purity and minerality which has made their reputation throughout the world. More information on www.chablis.com
Soil & Climate
A continental climate with very hot summers and cold winters. Ideal for growing vines, the vines rest in winter for the start of flowering in June and a harvest from mid-September. The region is, however, very prone to spring frosts which can damage too early buds in mild winters. A terroir where Chardonnay is king. Rolling hillsides with varied exposures which give life to 42 Climats which all have their personalities.
Organic Agriculture
If Chablis terroir is exceptional, conversion to organic farming is a difficult engagement because of climatic and geologic conditions. After three years of hard work, our Petit Chablis and Chablis are finally organic certified.
