Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Chablis delivered wines of notable ripeness and energy, thanks to a warm, sunny growing season moderated by cool nights that preserved freshness and vibrancy. Lavantureux Chablis 1er Cru Vau De Vey 2022, awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, exemplifies the Premier Cru’s signature style with an expressive bouquet of white peach, green apple, and citrus blossom, layered over distinctive flinty and saline undertones.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, this Chardonnay is both vivid and textured, offering crisp orchard fruit, a subtle hint of white almond, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish that reflects its origins on steep, Kimmeridgian limestone slopes. Its purity and tension make it a versatile companion for food, pairing beautifully with classic seafood such as pan-seared scallops, a goat cheese tart, or a delicate Cantonese steamed fish to highlight its finesse and precision.
