Description

Fine combination of fruit ripeness allied with purity of flavour, zesty citrus acidity and a lingering mineral
quality on the finish. Plenty of concentration here. Will age but already drinking well. Based in Lignerolles,
Lavantureux are one of the region’s rising stars. 91.” Andy Howard, DECANTER
“Fresh, saline, faintly cushioned invitation. Incisive – pure – what a super start, lots of salinity. Ultra-classic,
great villages!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“In bottle for two weeks. This is altogether more backward with a more phenolic nose (that’s a positive for
me). Good weight of fruit with a little tension behind and a fine persistent finish. Indeed impressive length.
Drink from 2025-2027. 89” Jasper Morris

Founded in 1978 on the prized Kimmeridgian soils around the village of Lignorelles which is north
west of the idiosyncratic village of Chablis, Roland’s two sons, David and Arnaud, work this 20ha
estate lutte raisonnée. Ferments are temperature controlled in stainless steel and all wines except
the Petit-Chablis occupy a short time in 2 to 8-year-old barriques and demi-muids.
The signature cuvee of the estate is the lieu-dit ‘Vauprin’ which is one of the most elevated
vineyards in Chablis and transposes an extreme mineral puissance. The Lavantureux 2022s continue
this Estate’s trajectory and rival the sort-after top names of Chablis.
