Domaine Roland Lavantureux

David & Arnaud

In 1978, Roland Lavantureux founded his domain in Lignorelles, a village north-west of Chablis. He had finished his studies in Beaune and started the domain with a Burgundian sobriety. Today, sons Arnaud and David are in charge. Arnaud takes care of the vineyards and the cellar. David is responsible for marketing and sales. The style of winemaking at this domaine is astonishing and it is not without reason that Arnaud has been voted the region's greatest talent three times in recent years. Since the arrival of the two brothers, the domain has slowly grown to 21 hectares. For us, one of the most striking additions is the Vauprin vineyard in Lignorelles. This vineyard produces a wine that can easily compete with many a premier cru, partly due to its unique terroir. The wines, except for the Chablis ac, all receive a full or partial maturation in oak barrels. As of 2019, the brothers also have family vineyards in Epineuil planted with pinot noir, allowing them to add a red wine to the range.

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
