Domaine Roland Lavantureux is a 50-acre estate with vineyards in Chablis and Petit Chablis. Roland Lavantureux started the domaine in 1979 after graduating from oenology school in Beaune. Today Roland’s two adult sons help him run the estate. The domaine’s vines are 30 to 60 years old and about 5,800 cases of wine are produced annually.
Fourchaume is a Premier Cru vineyard located just to the north of Chablis’ Grand Crus. The 84-acre hillside parcel is considered one of the best of the Chablis Premier Crus, and some people feel it should be elevated to Grand Cru. Within Fourchaume there are several important climats, or sub-parcels, including Vaupulent, Cote de Fontenay, L’Homme Mort and Vaulorent. The Fourchaume soil is primarily a composition of limestone, clay and fossilized oyster shells.
This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
