"TOP VALUE & UNDER THE RADAR RECOGNITION" - Decanter:
"The new generation arrived in 2010 with the arrival of David & Arnaud, following on from their father/grand-father. Roland first bottled his own wines in 1979 and the domaine has gone from strength to strength in recent years. Vauprin is a special selection on the hill of Vauprin, situated close to Lignorelles. Vines range from 20-80 years old and the parcel is 1.8ha in size. This AP Chablis is notable for the confident way in which oak is used (up to 50%, ranging from new to five-year-old). Lovely density on the palate allied to purity of fruit. Here, the oak really does add a lot of complexity but the Chablis character is still evident underneath. A very fine Chablis."
A parcel selection of a south exposed hill named Vauprin : The Estate’s Signature wine. “Vauprin” is a vineyard located in the village of Lignorelles and is known for being one of the highest altitude parcels in Chablis. It comprises a total of 3 hectares with vines of 25-50 years of age.
WINERY NOTES: "This special wine has one goal : the wood has to be subtle and melted. Ripe fruits and fine grilled notes are characteristic of the nose. The palate is full, intense and very long. This is a pure and powerful expression of Chablis." This estate has been in the hands of the Lavantureux family for 4 generations and covers a total of 20 hectares. It is now run by the latest generation of 2 sons. Arnaud is in charge of vineyards and winemaking, David of sales, communication and marketing. They have made an immediate impact, as judged by their peers in the region: Winner of Trophy “Young Talent of Burgundy” 2016 and 2017.
