Maison Lavantureux Chablis "Bougros" Grand Cru 2019 (JM 92-94)

Jasper Morris 92-94.
"Ripe , spicy nose, very typical of Bougros. There is a huge mouthful here with excellent tension, some peach notes, everything is there in the rich but balanced style of the vintage. And very long. Tasted Sept 2020."


Now that the new generation has settled in at Domaine Lavantureux, we can barely keep track of the new developments, each one more exciting than the last. This bottling marks just their third release from Bougros, a grand cru with abundant sun exposure noted for its high proportion of clay. It stands out from their other wines for its lavish richness, pampering your palate with decadent, limestone-tinged fruit without sparing an ounce of mouthwatering Chablisien typicity. You may certainly cellar it, but you’d be missing quite a treat today—it holds nothing back.
