Nice white burg. Not super complex but enjoyable — 3 years ago
2015 is showing wonderfully. Youthful reduction, concentrated and textural palette with both richness and definition and racy acids driving everything home. In a wonderful spot, but if this particular bottle is any indication, this is still young. Last sips were the best! — 3 months ago
The 2020 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a subtle reduction on the nose that enhances the aromatics. It is well-defined, with more yellow fruit in situ, crushed stone and rosemary oil. The oak is very well integrated. The palate is energetic and tensile from the start, with the reduction just right. It is not a deep Genevrières, yet taut and linear, almost Puligny-like towards the sustained finish. Excellent, though it needs bottle age to work through the reduction. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2024)

The description: 'Freshness, Fruit and Richness, the promise of Lavantureux Petit Chablis''.
The Petit Chablis from Roland Lavantureux is like a Bourgogne blanc from Antoine Jobard or Jean-Marc Roulot—a delicious, meticulously crafted wine that offers a taste of the magic found in the domaine’s more exclusive wines, with all the refreshing minerality and stoniness that is the hallmark of cool-climate Chardonnay grown on limestone. A sketch by da Vinci isn’t the Mona Lisa, but it still comes from the master’s hand.
The opinion: complex and beautiful.

Bright and fresh and crisp. Dynamic with light lemon and intense minerality. Light and precise. Very good. — 24 days ago
