The 2022 Domaine Clement Lavallee Auxerre Blanc Grand Roche is a Chardonnay from northern Burgundy, produced in the vineyards around Saint-Bris-le-Vineux. It offers fresh aromas of lemon, green apple and pear alongside white flowers, subtle stone fruit and a distinctive chalky mineral character.
On the palate, it is dry and finely textured, with lively acidity bringing freshness and definition to citrus and orchard fruit flavours. Gentle lees influence adds depth and a rounded texture without taking away from the wine’s energetic style. The finish is clean, persistent and mineral-driven, reflecting the cool character of the Côtes d’Auxerre.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy fresh, mineral-driven Burgundy with bright acidity, subtle texture and restrained richness. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with oysters, grilled fish, prawns, roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes or soft cheeses.
