Roland Lavantureux Chablis Vieilles Vignes - 1.5 Litre Bottle
This expressive white wine comes from France, originating from the historic subregion of Chablis within northern Burgundy. Following the completion of his wine education in Beaune, Roland Lavantureux established the estate in 1978 in the village of Lignorelles. Today, the domain is driven by his two sons, Arnaud and David, who maintain a winemaking philosophy focused on sustainable farming and protecting local biodiversity to craft intensely mineral wines that directly reflect their unique vineyard sites. The 'Vieilles Vignes' bottling is sourced from three distinct parcels of old vines planted between the 1960s and 1970s, which tunnel deep into the classic Kimmeridgian subsoil to capture maximum terroir pedigree.
Wine Description
Housed in an impressive 1.5 litre magnum bottle, the Chablis Vieilles Vignes displays a fresh, pale yellow colour with brilliant clarity. The nose is expressive and opulent, revealing an aromatic bouquet of ripe pears, yellow plums, and crisp citrus zest, seamlessly woven with layers of white flowers, lemon blossom, and smoky mineral salts. On the palate, the wine delivers an initial sensation of generous fruit density and texture due to naturally low old-vine yields, which smoothly transitions into a precise, tightly wound mid palate. It displays electric, crunchy acidity and a textbook 'Kimmeridgian hum' that evokes chalk, slate, and a briny ocean breeze. Composed of 100% Chardonnay, the wine was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats before undergoing an aging regime where approximately 60% of the juice rested on its fine lees in steel and 40% matured in older French oak barrels. This larger 1.5 litre format acts as an optimal shield against oxidation, slowing maturation to grant this structured, classy Chablis an extended drinking window that easily spans 5 to 10 years from release.
