2017 Roland Lavantureux Chablis Grand Cru "Bougros"

Now in the second generation of family ownership, Domaine Lavantureux is a stalwart producer of old-school Chablis from a clutch of key grand cru and premier cru sites. The Bougros Grand Cru comes from 30-year-old vines and is fermented in barrel and aged for 12 months in 75% new oak. According to renowned importer Kermit Lynch, "The Lavantureux wines display show-stopping nerve, to be enjoyed as easily before dinner as they are with a piece of grilled fish or oysters-on-the-half-shell. These wines drink as honestly as the people who make them; they are staff favorites year after year.?"
