Domaine Lavantureux Bourgogne Tonnerre

The palate is bright, mineral, and finely etched, opening with lemon zest, green apple, and crisp pear. The fruit feels clean and lifted, shaped by Tonnerre’s limestone soils and the sunny 2022 vintage. A mid‑palate of white peach, citrus cream, and subtle floral tones adds gentle roundness, while the partial oak élevage brings a soft, pastry‑like warmth without shifting the wine away from its mineral core. A clear line of oyster‑shell salinity runs through the centre, giving the wine tension and clarity. As it opens, hints of chalk dust, wet stone, and light almond emerge, adding depth while keeping the wine taut. The finish is long, dry, and quietly saline, tapering with notes of lemon pith, pear skin, and a faint mineral echo. Overall, it’s a precise, mineral, beautifully balanced Bourgogne Tonnerre — combining Chablis‑like tension with a touch more orchard‑fruit generosity.
