Domaine des Hâtes

Domaine les Hâtes owns 25 hectares of vineyards in the north of Chablis. The limestone soil here contains more clay, which gives the wines more strength and roundness.

Domaine les Hâtes is owned by Pierrick Laroche, a rising star in the French winemaking firmament. More than 10 years ago he took over the vineyards from his father, who started the domain in 1970.

The cellars of Domaine les Hâtes are located on the slope of a hill in the village of Maligny. Gravity is used to move the grapes, must and wine. All wines undergo malolactic fermentation, which makes the wines rounder and softer. In the vineyards too, the focus is on working as naturally as possible. The vineyards are currently still in conversion to organic certification.

His precise, driven way of working quickly earned Pierrick national and international fame. For his first vintage he immediately received 3 stars in the Guide Hachette and Robert Parker also gave 90 points for his 1er Cru. A winemaker to keep an eye on!
