The story of Domaine Drouhin-Laroze began when Jean-Baptiste Laroze started a vineyard operation in Gevrey Chambertin. Over the years, the estate expanded under the guidance of successive generations, who continued to develop the vineyard with a focus on hillside vineyards. In 1919, Suzanne, the granddaughter of Jean-Baptiste, married Alexandre Drouhin, and the estate was henceforth called Drouhin-Laroze.
