Since 1850
Familly Estate
Six generations have been running at the Domaine.
Five generations have been running the Domaine for 163 years, Caroline and Nicolas, Christine and Philippe's children represent the sixth.
In 1850, Jean-Baptiste LAROZE started a vineyard operation in Gevrey Chambertin.
He
was later succeeded by Félix LAROZE.
In 1919,
Suzanne, the daughter of Félix,
married Alexandre DROUHIN, who owned vines in Chambolle
Musigny
and the estate was henceforth called Drouhin-Laroze.
It is now run by Philippe and Christine Drouhin.
A family that is united and whose talents complement each other
The Estate is currently run by Philippe and Christine Drouhin, assisted by their children Caroline and Nicolas.
Each successive generation continued to develop the Estate with the sole objective of investing in hillside vineyards, which was a visionary and risky choice. At the time, those vineyards were already very expensive and not very productive. The bet paid off and today, thanks to the sacrifices and risk-taking of the previous generations, the 11.50 hectare Estate is one of the most prestigious in terms of diversity, quality and the surface area of its appellations.
