2015 Domaine Lavantureux Chablis

"Things are changing at Domaine Lavantureux: founder Roland’s sons, Arnaud and David, have joined the family business, and they have begun to implement a number of changes, yielding notable results in improving their already stellar lineup of Chablis. Diligent in their work ethic and full of ambition, the Lavantureux sons have begun working with new vineyard sites, made adjustments in winemaking, and improved the packaging of the domaine’s wines for a slightly classier presentation. While they have already earned numerous awards and accolades for their work, the real results can be tasted in the bottle. As you’ll see, the wine is a crystal-clear translation of the Kimmeridgian limestone of Chablis—Chardonnay the way it can only taste from these soils. In addition to its crisp, saline finish, you’ll find rich, layered fruit and impressive length on the palate. Make way for the new generation!" –Anthony Lynch
