Roland Lavantureux Petit Chablis
$42.99
Upon completion of his wine education in Beaune, Roland Lavantureux established his winery in 1978 in the village of Lignorelles in the Chablis appellations. In a short period of time, Domaine Lavantureux has become one of the region’s most celebrated and respected producers. In 2010, Roland’s two sons, Arnaud and David, took over the domaine. Together they farm 20 hectares of prime vineyards on Kimmeridgian soils across the Chablis appellation, including key premier and grand cru sites such as Vau de Vey and Vaudésir, respectively. Their vineyards are farmed sustainably, paying close attention to the natural biodiversity of the surrounding area. In the cellar, the vision of the estate is to produce intensely mineral wines that are reflective of the specific vineyard site.
Roland Lavantureux Chablis 375ml
$29.99
This family began their adventure in Chablis as growers but that changed in 1979. Marine and Gervais began to sell the wines from the domaine in “feuilettes” (132-litre barrels, typical of Chablis) in Auxerre and Paris. Roland Lavanurteux was the first to bottle the wines in 1979 and it was at that moment that he gave his name to the domaine. Together with Brigitte, their parents then expanded the domaine from 5 hectares to 20 hectares and continued to develop the business in France and abroad. Since 2010, Arnaud and David have continued to write the domaine’s history with the enlargement of the cellar in 2012 in anticipation of the domaine’s new projects: Taking the reins of another family domaine (created by our maternal grandparents) in Bourgogne Epineul and Bourgogne Tonnerre. The first bottles from the 50+ year old vines were produced in 2020. They have also acquired new parcels in Chablis, notably in Chablis Premier Cru Vau de Vey.
Tremblay Petit Chablis
$35.99
A value-priced crisp white wine! Gerard and Helene are the winemaking couple behind Domaine Gerard Tremblay, a family-owned winery with roots that date back five generations. Made of 100% Chardonnay, this beautiful, light-bodied dry wine is a great pairing with seafood.
Tremblay Chablis Vielles Vignes
$42.99
"Characteristic aromas of white flowers, pink, acacia honey, round and rich on the palate, intense nose and mouth, very smooth and excellent development. With hints of green and yellow, this wine is generous. Round, large, persistent, its flavors develop quite quickly. This wine should be drunk young, but you can also keep it five years."
L`Enclos Chablis 1er Vaude V
$97.99
Domaine de l'Enclos is 33 hectares of organically farmed vines (Ecocert certification) on the 4 levels of the Chablis designation and notably on some of the most beautiful terroirs of the vineyard. The property is located in the heart of Chablis in a large estate, a former residence of the monk workers of Pontigny Abbey, comprising a large 19th-century building and a partly underground cellar built in 2016.
Most of their work is done in the vineyards. They take the greatest care in their vineyards to extract the best from them: respectful Poussard pruning, organic fertilizers, disbudding, careful trellising, leaf removal, and manual harvesting on all our vintages. We attach great importance to the life of our soils, which we maintain by scratching and sowing. To protect our vines from diseases, they only use products of natural origin, copper, sulphur and plant preparations. The domaine is fully certified in BIO.
J Moreau Chablis
$34.99
Finding Chablis for under $40 has become increasing difficult but Moreau always manages to deliver a respectable wine, fairly classic with nice minerailty and textured fruit.
Domaine De Lenclos Chablis 1Er Fourchau
$99.99
L'Enclos has become a superstar in Chablis, joining the ranks of such legendary names Raveneau and Dauvissat, albeit at much more reasonable prices, for now anyway.
Domaine De Lenclos Chablis 1Er Montmain
$91.99
Chablis at its best represents the purest expression of Chardonnay on the planet. Most are unadorned with oak and as such there is nowhere to hide if the wine is not impeccably made or if the vintage was less than ideal. Domaine de l'Enclos has risen to the top of Chablis ranks in recent years, and for good reason. This is pure, mineral-driven Chablis from one of the best premier cru sites in Chablis. Serve it with oysters, salmon, Thai food, and sushi.
Dom de LEnclos Chablis Fourch Magnum
$194.99
Romain and Damien Bouchard founded their winemaking estate only in 2016, yet they are the fourth generation of their clan to toil the classic and chalky, Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis. For decades, the family provided other winemakers with peerless Chardonnay fruit, pulled from impressive holdings in grand cru and premier cru vineyards, planted carefully by family hands. With a passion to craft Chablis wines according to “simple and natural” methods and with a good dose of “observation and patience,” the brothers—who call themselves “perfectionists”— have set a new, higher standard for the character-driven wines of Chablis
