Maison Roland Lavantureux Chablis "Bougros" Grand Cru 2022 [JM 91]

Jasper Morris 91 points.

Winery Notes:

Bougros is a very expressive Grand Cru. The location of the parcel with a great sun exposure explains this concentration. We can find ripe fruit flavors and a large and opulent wine.

Food Pairings : This Grand Cru will be perfect with meat in “sauce”, big sea food, mountain cheese.

Vineyard
The Grands Crus are surrounding the village of Chablis on the right bank of
Serein. Bougros is the first Grand Cru north of the hillside. The south-west
exposure ensures warm sunshine late in the day.
This cuvée is coming from purchased grapes since 2012.
This partnership is done on about 0,55 ha of Bougros appellation.

Winemaking & Aging
Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel  tank
Temperature control allow us to find very fine and precise flavours during
fermentation.
The aging is 10 to 14 months and is made 20% in inox tank and 80% in oak
barrels (new to 3 years old)
The barrel aging brings complexity and richness to the wines. The blend
with the part in tank help us to find every year the best balance for each cuvée.
Bottling by ourselves at the estate.
