Chablis 1er Cru ‘Butteaux’ Pierrick Laroche (Domaine des Hâtes) -
Butteaux is one of the ‘climats’ of Premier cru Montmains which is regarded as one of the top Premier cru vineyard sites in Chablis lying beside or below Vaillons. Being one of the most southern locations for 1er cru in Chablis it is regarded as a cooler site with slightly later harvest. Here there is a very thin layer of clay which overlays the Kimmeridgian marls.
”Second vintage. This a domaine wine, also all barrel more than half in large formats. A small volume from these vines as there’s plenty of court-noué – about 40 hl/ha. Had this since 2019 from an uncle – nearly 3 hectares extra. This is the first part of Butteaux as you leave Chablis next to Forets… This has a width that implies a finer texture, faintly warmer-spiced. Hmm – this is mouth-filling, generous, wine – but with clarity and a finely mobile flavour. The oak is modifying the flavour to an extent so give this a couple of years in the cellar before attacking – so despite how delicious it already is – this could become an even greater wine.” Burgundy-report.com, Bill Nanson, February 2022.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Pierrick Laroche

Chablis (Maligny + Courgis, Burgundy)

Pierrick Laroche's father established Domaine des Hâtes in the 1970s in Maligny, a village in the north-west sector of the Chablis appellation. Pierrick took over the estate and produced his first vintage under his own name in 2010, working an estate that has now grown to about 25 hectares. The Maligny base sits on the Kimmeridgian limestone-and-marl soils that define Chablis — the same geological formation as the chalk of southern England, fossil-rich and giving Chablis its distinctive saline-mineral signature.

From the 2016 vintage Pierrick added a small négoce operation, buying must from friends farming predominantly on the left bank of the Serein River (the western, traditionally cooler side of Chablis). The négoce range now includes Premier Crus Beauroy, Beauregard and Vau de Vey, plus Grand Cru Bougros — a step up from the standard estate-village wines into the upper Chablis hierarchy. In 2019 Pierrick inherited a further 8 acres in southern Chablis around Courgis: Petit Chablis, 5.5 acres of village-level Chablis, and just over half an acre of Premier Cru Les Butteaux. The range now spans Petit Chablis through Grand Cru — a vertical that few small Chablis growers can offer at this scale.
