i. Biography
Coming Up
Training at Beaune gave Pierrick Laroche a base in precision and an exacting reading of terroir. That formation still shows in the way Domaine des Hâtes is described: measured, deliberate, and closely tied to the wine-growing landscape around Maligny. Since 2009, Laroche has held both proprietor and winemaker roles at the estate, keeping stewardship and cellar work in the same hands. The through-line is continuity, with the domaine shaped by consistency rather than haste.
Where They Are Now
At Domaine des Hâtes, Chablis remains the fixed point of the cellar work. Pierrick Laroche keeps the estate oriented around that center of gravity, and the result is a style that reads as focused and restrained rather than ornamental. In Burgundy, where provenance and precision carry real weight, that kind of steadiness is part of the signature.
Signature
Pierrick’s signature dishes include Chablis Grand Cru Bougros, Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume L’Homme Mort, Chablis Premier Cru Beauroy, and Chablis Les Chatillons. Together, these names sketch the contours of his style with clarity: rooted in Chablis, expressive of site, and attentive to the distinctions that define the region’s most closely watched bottles. Each sits within the same disciplined frame, yet each carries its own nuance, its own sense of place. Taken as a group, they reflect the continuity at the heart of Domaine des Hâtes—an estate where precision is not merely a method, but part of the identity itself.
