WINE DESCRIPTION
The Lavantureux brothers, Arnaud and David, elevate their family domaine in Chablis with each vintage. Introducing new cuvées from premier and grand cru sites, they implement changes in vineyard and cellar management for wines that epitomize purity, precision, and expressiveness. Amidst the clamor for highly sought-after Chablis, the Lavantureux brothers diligently cultivate their stony vineyards, crafting wines that rival the finest but at a more accessible price point. A recent addition, the premier cru Beauroy, offers a round, ample Chablis expression from a south-facing parcel—silky and suave with a saline finish. Best enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
