Lavantureux 2022 Chablis 'Vieilles Vignes'

“A small but still deep nose – yellow citrus with an accent of honey at the base. Also cool, direct and in this case even more vibrant. More energy and certainly more finishing intensity – that’s great too but wait 2-3 years for this one – there’s a small creamy accent of the barrel in this finish but it will be gone in that timescale. Bravo!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“Not in bottle but the blend is done. There is still a light reduction on the nose. Excellent steely tension, a lively finish with real grip. All in white fruit, somewhat saline but not iodine. Drink from 2025-2028. 90” Jasper Morris

“The 2022 Chablis Vielle Vignes comes from 65-year-old vines and his aged 40% in barrel, the rest in stainless steel. It has an open, airy bouquet with citrus peel, and Granny Smith apples, less rich than the regular Chablis Village. The palate is fresh and saline on the entry, lightly spiced with good weight and a cohesive, bright finish that delivers the sapidity to beckon another sip. Top-notch Chablis! 91” Neal Martin, Vinous
