The Domaine d'Henri is a family-owned wine producer located in the heart of the Chablis region in Burgundy, France. Founded in 1947 by Henri and his wife, the estate has been passed down through four generations and is now run by the current owner, Michel Laroche, and his son, Arnaud.
The Domaine d'Henri is known for its exceptional Chablis wines, which are made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the unique terroir of the region. The estate encompasses 30 hectares of vineyards, with some of the oldest vines dating back to the 1950s. These vines are carefully tended to by hand, using sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
The Chablis region is renowned for its cool climate, chalky soils, and distinct microclimates, which result in wines with a mineral, crisp, and elegant character. The Domaine d'Henri takes full advantage of these unique conditions to produce wines that are a true reflection of their terroir. The estate produces a range of Chablis wines, including Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and Village appellations, with each wine expressing the distinct characteristics of its specific terroir.
The winemaking process at Domaine d'Henri is a careful balance of tradition and innovation. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before undergoing a gentle pressing.

The wines are then aged in a combination of oak and stainless steel to add complexity and texture.
The result is a collection of wines that are highly regarded by wine critics and enthusiasts alike. The Domaine d'Henri has received numerous accolades and awards for its wines, including consistent high ratings from renowned wine critic, Robert Parker.
