- TASTING NOTE: The lieu-dit Vauprin produces Chablis that straddles the classic, taut, mineral style of the region with modern flourishes of fruit weight and concentration. This is 1er cru quality Chablis. "Pale colour with a lemon tint. The bouquet is backward today, very reserved. Such crystalline perfection, with huge energy as well as concentration. Little yellow plums mixed in at the edges but predominantly white fruit. Extraordinary length too. Drink from 2025-2030.” 5 star wine, 93 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
- ABOUT THE WINE / PRODUCER: Founded in 1978 on the prized Kimmeridgian soils around the village of Lignorelles which is north-west of the idiosyncratic village of Chablis, Roland’s two sons, David and Arnaud, work this 20ha estate, lutte raisonnée. Ferments are temperature controlled in stainless steel and all bar the Petit Chablis sees a short time in 2 to 8-year-old barriques and demi-muids. The Vaudésir is a mighty Grand Cru of the Domaine, yet the signature wine of the estate is the lieu-dit ‘Vauprin’ which is one of the most elevated vineyards in Chablis and transposes an extreme mineral puissance. The Lavantureux 2020's continue this Estate’s trajectory and rival the top producers of the region.
