Domaine Lavantureux Chablis 'Vauprin'

The palate is concentrated, mineral, and finely sculpted, opening with lemon oil, green apple, and white peach. The fruit feels ripe yet taut, shaped by the high‑elevation, south‑facing slope that gives both intensity and freshness. A mid‑palate of citrus cream, pear, and subtle stone‑fruit richness adds weight, while the gentle oak influence brings a soft pastry warmth that never obscures the wine’s mineral line. A thread of chalk dust, crushed stone, and oyster‑shell salinity runs through the centre, giving the wine lift and precision. As it opens, hints of almond, flint, and light reduction emerge — the kind that adds tension and aromatic complexity. The finish is long, dry, and mineral‑etched, tapering with notes of lemon pith, peach skin, and a faint smoky‑saline echo. Overall, it’s a powerful yet agile single‑vineyard Chablis — concentrated, mineral, and beautifully expressive of high‑slope Kimmeridgian terroir.
