Upon completion of his wine education in Beaune, Roland Lavantureux established his winery 1978 in the village of Lignorelles in the Chablis appellations. In a short period of time, Domaine Lavantureux has become one of the region’s most celebrated and respected producers. In 2010, Roland’s two sons, Arnaud and David, took over the domaine. Together they farm 20 hectares of prime vineyards on kimmeridgian soils across the Chablis appellation, including key premier and grand cru sites such as Vau de Vey and Vaudésir, respectively. Their vineyards are farmed sustainably paying close attention to the natural biodiversity of the surrounding area. In the cellar, the vision of the estate is to produce intensely mineral wines that are reflective of the specific vineyard site.

Our Vaux Carrés plots benefit from a cooler climate, thanks to their north-northwest exposure , a feature increasingly sought after with climate change. This cooler climate, combined with dense limestone soil right down to the surface, explains the mineral intensity and purity of this cuvée . The deeply rooted, forty-year-old vines add the necessary depth for balanced tension. Our vines were planted in the 1980s and pruned using the double Guyot method. We cultivate 4.8 hectares of Chablis Vaux Carrés.

On the nose, the Chablis expresses itself fully, the freshness delicately carrying beautiful floral aromas.

On the palate, the exquisitely refined bouquet unfolds with citrus notes before revealing white flowers and fruit. Fresh, supple, and precise, it is marked by a mineral intensity that lends a beautiful length to the finish.
