95pts Jasper Morris

Pure lemon colour with an attractive nose, some white fruit, a light spice, plenty of density, considerable weight of fruit, slightly on the exotic side, sensual and long.

Winemaker Notes

Roland Lavantureux Chablis Bougros Grand Cru is Lavantureux's fullest-bodied grand cru, both youthful and rich, is easy to savor, no matter the effort that preceded its arrival at table.

Winery Notes

With a sharp eye, natural instinct, and solid Burgundian pragmatism, Roland Lavantureux made a name for himself crafting no-nonsense Chablis that has come to be one of the most reliable of the old reliables here at Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. Upon his completion of wine school in Beaune, Roland founded the domaine in 1978 in the town of Lignorelles, about four miles northwest of Chablis. Today, his two sons have taken over the Domaine: Arnaud is in charge of the vineyards and cellar, while David takes the lead in marketing and sales. In addition to making a stunning Chablis, the Lavantureux family also bottles a mouth-watering Petit Chablis, which, depending on the vintage, can easily rival their more highly pedigreed bottling—only proving the unwavering consistency of the Lavantureux family that has kept our relationship with them so strong for over thirty-five years.
