Domaine Roland Lavantureux is a family-run estate based in Lignorelles, just northwest of Chablis proper, where brothers Arnaud and David Lavantureux now helm the cellar with a dynamic, detail-oriented approach. Their wines bridge classic mineral-driven Chablisienne style with precision and depth, particularly in their bottlings from older parcels. ‘Vieilles Vignes’ is sourced from low-yielding Chardonnay vines over 50 years old, yielding a concentrated, textural expression of Chablis that maintains unmistakable cut and salinity.
-
WINEMAKERS: Arnaud and David Lavantureux
-
FARMING: Sustainable (lutte raisonnée)
-
VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
-
TERROIR: From old vines planted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils around Lignorelles. The vineyard’s age and low yields intensify minerality and depth, while cool northern exposures preserve freshness.
-
VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested. Fermented with native yeasts in a combination of stainless steel and used French oak barrels.
-
AGING: Aged on lees for 10–12 months in a mix of tank and barrel, with regular bâtonnage to enhance texture and complexity.
-
TASTING NOTES: A layered and expressive Chablis with aromas of lemon zest, oyster shell, white peach, and subtle toast. The palate is deep and structured, with racy acidity, chalky minerality, and a long, mouthwatering finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Oysters, halibut in beurre blanc, roasted chicken with tarragon, aged goat cheese.
