“Premium appellations are in a small, exclusive club – Laroche represents the pinnacle of such an appellation with Chablis.  We are proud to represent it in the United States,” says Laurent Fortin, President & CEO of Cannon Wines Limited.

The Laroche family has produced wines since 1850 in Chablis, one of the world’s most renowned appellations. “It can be said without arrogance that Chablis is an exceptional terroir,” says Michel Laroche, who represents the 5th generation of Domaine Laroche winemakers. The quality of the soil from the kimmeridgian geological layer contains just the right amount of clay to bring the mineral character, and the substratum clay to preserve enough water and finally, a good orientation towards to the sun in a region that seldom suffers from excess heat. All the right conditions are met for the production of great Chardonnay.
