Savor the essence of Burgundy’s iconic terroir with this exceptional Chablis Chardonnay 2020 from Roland Lavantureux’s esteemed estate in France’s northernmost wine region.

Tasting Notes & Awards

Jasper Morris of JancisRobinson.com awarded this wine 94 points, praising its bold citrus intensity (more lemon than lime) and a subtle coconut nuance that harmonizes beautifully with its mineral backbone. The Vauprin cuvée showcases Chardonnay’s rare ability to balance plush roundness with razor-sharp tension—a hallmark of premier cru-level terroir expression from Burgundy’s limestone-rich soils.

Terroir & Winemaking

Planted on Lignorelles’ steep south-facing slope—an overlooked gem until recently—the Vauprin parcel captures maximum sun exposure while retaining natural acidity typical of Chablis’ cooler climate. The Lavantureux team’s commitment to precision viticulture ensures every bottle reflects this unique site’s magic:
Sustainable practices enhance fruit purity
Minimal oak influence (stainless steel aging) preserves vibrant varietal character
12.5% alcohol offers elegance without heaviness
