2020 Chablis 1er Cru "Vau de Vey" Domaine Roland Lavantureux

Description

The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru “Vau de Vey” from Domaine Roland Lavantureux is a white wine from the prestigious Chablis terroir in Burgundy, within the Chablis 1er Cru appellation. The “Vau de Vey” vineyard, located on steep slopes, benefits from an ideal exposure that allows Chardonnay to reveal its full purity and distinctive mineral character, typical of the finest Chablis wines.

This wine embodies the elegance and precision of Chablis 1er Crus, with marked freshness and tension, thanks to the rich clay-limestone and Kimmeridgian soils, which impart a strong mineral expression to the wine.

Blend

100% Chardonnay. This emblematic grape variety of the Chablis region is carefully crafted to highlight its aromatic potential and natural freshness.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Subtle and refined, with aromas of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, complemented by a mineral and saline touch.

Palate: The wine is lively and precise, with beautiful mineral tension. Fresh citrus flavors of lemon and grapefruit are supported by a sharp minerality, typical of Chablis’ terroir. The finish is long and persistent, with slightly iodized notes and impressive freshness.

Aging Potential
