Description
Winemaker Notes
Founded in 1850, Domaine Laroche is one of the largest owners of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in Chablis and has led movements to raise the quality of the appellation with the creation of a charter of excellence for the Grand Cru producers. Today, Domaine Laroche still produces and ages its Premiers and Grands Crus in the historical cellars of its headquarters, the Obédiencerie.
Tasting Notes
Richness and complexity. A sunny profile with saffron and spicy notes accompanied by freshness and tension. Les Vaillons is one of the most well-regarded Premier Cru vineyards in the Chablis appellation of Burgundy, France. It’s located on the left bank of the Serein River, just south of the town of Chablis, in an area known for producing wines that balance finesse with expressive minerality.
Food Pairing
The old vines of this sunny Premier Cru give intense wines with stone fruit and Asian spice aromas. Enjoy with scallops, veal with creamy sauce or mature cheese.

Expert Reviews
Vaillons très précis, avec beaucoup de fruits à noyau mûrs en bouche, équilibrés par une fine ligne d’acidité citron vert zestée. Juste une pointe d’élevage sur lies/un léger toucher de bois ici ? Dans l’ensemble, un exemple très classe, raffiné et de longue garde de ce premier cru. - Charles Curtis MV
The 2022 Chablis Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru, from 65-year-old vines, has a perfumed bouquet with red apple, yellow plum and melted candle wax scents, a little oilier than its peers but quite intriguing. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, fine concentration and ample focus, that citric thread of acidity upholding tension. Very fine. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.
