Domaine Roland LavantureuxChablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2021

About this wine

This Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir from Domaine Roland Lavantureux is a stunning expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis' most prestigious climats. The 2021 vintage showcases the pure, mineral-driven character that makes this appellation legendary among white wine lovers.

On the nose, expect elegant aromas of white flowers, green apple, and citrus zest, layered with that distinctive flinty minerality that Chablis is famous for. The palate is beautifully balanced, offering crisp acidity alongside flavors of lemon, pear, and a subtle saline note that lingers on the finish. There's a lovely tension between the wine's richness and its refreshing character, with just enough weight to show this is indeed a Grand Cru.

This wine deserves your finest seafood dishes. Think grilled turbot with beurre blanc, lobster thermidor, or fresh oysters from Normandy. Serve it at around 12°C to let all those complex flavors shine through. If you're feeling patient, decanting it for 30 minutes will help it open up even more.
