Vintage Character The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy from Domaine Lavantureux exemplifies the unique character of this renowned Premier Cru, shaped by its southeast-facing slopes and Kimmeridgian limestone soils. The 2022 vintage in Chablis was defined by a warm, dry growing season, which produced wines with generous ripeness and approachable texture while preserving the region's signature minerality and freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This wine opens with expressive aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and a subtle oyster shell note, leading into a palate that balances precision with suppleness. Flavors of lemon curd and green apple are layered with a delicate saline and flinty complexity, culminating in a long, refreshing finish that highlights its vibrant acidity and mineral backbone. Its versatility at the table makes it a superb match for Western seafood dishes such as seared scallops with beurre blanc, creamy goat cheese, or Japanese tempura, allowing the wine’s clean lines and depth to shine alongside a range of flavors.
