Domaine Lavantureux Chablis 1er Cru 'Beauroy'

The palate is generous, mineral, and quietly powerful, opening with yellow nectarine, ripe pear, and lemon oil. The fruit feels rounded yet fresh, shaped by Beauroy’s clay‑limestone soils and the warm, abundant 2022 vintage. A mid‑palate of citrus cream, lime zest, and subtle honeyed tones adds both brightness and depth. The texture is silky and gently expansive, with a fine thread of flint, chalk dust, and crushed stone giving the wine tension and definition. As it opens, hints of white flowers, almond, and cool salinity emerge, adding aromatic lift without softening the wine’s mineral core. The finish is long, dry, and citrussy, tapering with notes of lemon pith, nectarine skin, and a faint flinty echo. Overall, it’s a fresh, rounded, beautifully balanced Premier Cru Beauroy — combining ripe 2022 fruit with Lavantureux’s signature clarity and mineral drive.
