Lavantureux Chablis Grand Cru Bougros (750ml)

Originally, the wine produced by the Lavantureux family was mainly drunk by family and friends.  Marine and Gervais, Roland’s paternal grandparents, began to sell the wines from the domaine in “feuilettes” (132 liter barrels, typical of Chablis) in Auxerre and Paris.  Roland was the first to bottle the wines in 1979 and it was then that he gave his name to the domaine.  He expanded the domaine from 5 hectares to 20 hectares and continued to develop the business in France and abroad.  The domaine is about 20 hectares of Chardonnay vines in Lignorelles, about four miles northwest of Chablis.  Since 2010 his sons Arnaud and David  work alongside him. Arnaud works in the vineyards and cellar, while David takes the lead in marketing and sales.  The domaine is known for making no no nonsense reliable and delicious Chablis.
