Description

"Luxurious and richly layered on the palate with clear minirality and layers of fruit. Expertly balanced, Bougros is an expressive Grand Cru terroir. Lavantureux's parcels are well-placed with excellent exposure to the sun, concentrating flavour and giving it a long finish."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Lavantureux

A passion passed down from generation to generation.

The vineyard was at the time only one part of the agricultural activities of the families predecessors and the wine produced was drunk by family and friends.

The grandparents, began to sell the wines from the domaine in “feuilettes” (132 litre barrels, typical of Chablis) in Auxerre and Paris.

Roland was the first to bottle the wines in 1979. It was at that moment that he gave his name to the domaine. Together they expanded the domaine from 5 hectares to 20 hectares and continued to develop the business in France and abroad.

Since 2010, Arnaud and David continue to write the domaine’s history with the enlargement of the cellar in 2012.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is without a doubt the most known and most widely planted white grape variety around the world. It is historically home in Burgundy where it produces a more refined, mineral and poised wines all up and down the Cote de Beaune and in Chablis. Throughout the new world it gained fame in both California and Australia where it is known to produce big, rich, buttery and tropical fruit-laden white wines.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most important wine regions in the world. It is often the one region that winemakers not lucky enough to be based there strive to make wine in. Run over to your local winery and I am sure that you'll find at least one Burgundy-phile. It is the historical home of the two major grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
