Description
The 2021 Chablis Grand Cru “Vaudésir” from Domaine Roland Lavantureux is a prestigious white wine from one of the most renowned appellations in Burgundy, the Chablis Grand Cru region. This family-run estate, led by Arnaud and David Lavantureux, showcases the nobility of Chardonnay, the king grape of the region, while adhering to the traditions and excellence of the terroir.
Sourced from the famed Vaudésir climat, one of the seven classified Grand Cru sites in Chablis, this wine is crafted from vines planted on kimmeridgian soils, rich in marine fossils, giving the wine a pronounced minerality and unparalleled aromatic depth. Vaudésir is known for producing wines of great finesse, perfectly balancing power and elegance.
Blend
The 2021 Vaudésir is made from 100% Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of Chablis, which expresses its full complexity and minerality in this unique Grand Cru terroir.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: A shimmering pale gold with green highlights, reflecting the youth and freshness of the Vaudésir.
Nose: Expressive and refined, the nose reveals subtle aromas of ripe citrus, such as candied lemon, along with white flowers, notes of peach and pear, and a hint of flint and acacia honey.
Palate: On the palate, the wine unveils a silky and elegant texture with great depth. Harmonious flavors of ripe citrus, white-fleshed fruits, and a touch of salinity unfold beautifully. The minerality of the Vaudésir terroir is fully expressed, with well-balanced acidity that imparts freshness. The finish is long, saline, and hints at significant aging potential.
Aging Potential
This Chablis Grand Cru can be enjoyed now to appreciate its freshness and elegance, but it will also develop beautifully in the cellar for 10 to 15 years. Over time, it will gain complexity, evolving into notes of dried fruits, honey, and white truffle.
