The 2022 Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis is a pure and concentrated Chardonnay from limestone-rich vineyards around Lignorelles, Beine, Villy and Ligny-le-Châtel. It opens with aromas of green apple, ripe pear and fresh lime, followed by white flowers, oyster shell, chalk and a subtle smoky note.
On the palate, the generous fruit of the 2022 vintage is balanced by zesty citrus acidity and a firm mineral core. Apple and lemon flavours are joined by touches of walnut and gentle spice, while partial maturation in seasoned oak adds texture and depth without overwhelming the wine’s Chablis character. The finish is precise, energetic and distinctly saline.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent village-level Chablis offering impressive concentration, mineral definition and value. Enjoy now for its vibrant citrus fruit or cellar until 2030 for greater complexity. Serve at 10–12°C with oysters, seafood platters, grilled fish, roast chicken, goat cheese or Comté.
