Domaine Lavantureux Chablis

The palate is bright, mineral, and finely cut, opening with lemon zest, green apple, and crisp pear. The fruit feels clean and lifted, shaped by the Kimmeridgian limestone and the sunny, generous 2022 vintage. A mid‑palate of white peach, citrus cream, and subtle floral tones adds gentle roundness, while the partial older‑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 Chablis — classic in structure, modern in texture, and unmistakably Lavantureux.
