Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Grand Cru ‘Vaudésir’ 2021

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“Clear pale lemon. The nose does not really speak at this stage. The volume of fruit is present, but perhaps not quite the nobility. Perhaps this is just very backward, with saline and citrus notes, with clearly some concentration on the palate.” Jasper Morris 92-94 Points

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Grand Cru ‘Bourgros’ 2021

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“A paler colour and richer nose, some wood, some muscle. Gently concentrated, with some citrus, then a wealth more fruit on the second half of the palate, a surge of energy. A really very long finish." Jasper Morris 92-95

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis 1er Cru ‘Vau de Vey’ 2019

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“A relatively young estate, Lavantureux is definitely a domaine to watch. Arnaud and David are now running things, with a recent 0.95ha acquisition in Vau de Vey. Farmed by hand, this is a delightful Premier Cru which emphasises the character of this steep, stony climat. Lovely density on the palate with an intriguing lime character, balanced by mineral, flinty notes and a touch of creamy oak adding more complexity. Subtle and nuanced.” Decanter

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“A big and open nose – fresh, spiced. Wow – über-mineral, so cool it’s almost cold – tons of lithe muscle. Juicy with fabulously intense but never hard flavour. That’s simply great Chablis – some elements of strictness that I would endure with so much pleasure!” Bill Nanson “Clean bright colour with a classy delicacy. There is an impressive level of detail, some coconut dusting on the grass, excellent acidity behind, growing out if its reductive phase, with a little

“Pure mid yellow. Soft fruit on the nose. Lean with lemons and lime but enough volume of fruit with a salivatory fresh acidity behind, and very good length.” Jasper Morris 90-93 Points

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis 1er Cru ‘Fauchaume’ 2018

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

Too steep for animals here and slippery too – so everything done by hand. A wide nose, half mineral and saline. Bigger – full, framed with fresh, melting acidity, insinuating delicious flavour. Very long – that’s another great 2018! Bill Nanson

“Very classy on the nose with dried apple and hints of pineapple and lilac. Medium-to full-bodied with a creamy and crunchy mouth feel from the ripe fruit and the bright acidity.” James Suckling

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis ‘Vauprin’ 2020

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“A nose of freshness – almost cold and saline – it has my attention. Mouth-filling. Super energy to this wine – plenty of citrus bitters again that slightly modify the texture – interestingly you note the barrel more in the flavours this time than the aromas – the reverse of the last wine – but the elevage was the same. Again, a great wine but wait 2 -3 years” Bill Nanson “More lemon than lime, a little touch of coconut, the wine has the intensity to handle it, amazin

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“Another wine which started out in wood for 50% of the volume, which may explain the light coconut touch. Great floral points alongside, such energy of fruit, primary yellow notes, clean concentrated citrus zest, long saline finish. Another beautiful wine from this site.” Jasper Morris 90-92 Points 5-Star Wine

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Vielles Vignes 2018

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

House Chablis! Exceptional flavour & salty acid profile with a fine texture! From 3 parcels in Lignorelles – vines planted by grandfather – 50-60-year-old vines. Here with 40%-barrel elevage, all the higher crus with 50%. A touch of floral notes over a little vibration of minerality. Wide, slowly mouth-filling, so intense finishing, with width. Ooh, that’s super and with a proper salinity. Bravo! Bill Nanson

“A more concentrated width of aroma – here with a more overt nod to the barrel elevage. That’s beautifully vibrant and deeply flavoured – plenty of barrel, plenty of concentration. Wait 2-3 years for this great finishing wine – unless you are a fan of creamy-oak in your wine.” Bill Nanson

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

“All the domaine’s wines are vinified parcel by parcel – this comes from a single parcel in Lignorelles but a big parcel of 5ha and it’s the biggest cuvée of the domaine. Here starting to see a proportion of older barrels for elevage. A similar roundness and sweet invitation to drink. Mouth- filling, silky – here is a super wine for drinking today! The finish is pure and full of energy – again with lovely citrus-skin complexity. That’s really excellent.” Bill Nanson

“Here is the only wine that with 100% stainless-steel for all vinification and elevage. All from Lignorelles. That’s a very friendly nose – slightly round and faintly caramel despite tank elevage – an inviting sweetness. A little touch of green in the flavours but also lots of energy and citrus bitters. Very engaging, tasty wine. Long too.” Bill Nanson
