Clément Lavallée 2022 Chablis

A sleek, characteristic Chablis with aromas of stone fruit, citrus, and minerals. The palate follows with Green apple, lemon zest, smoke, salted almonds. Completely organic.

After nearly a decade working at wineries around the world - including Chapoutier, Armand Heitz, and Chateau Margaux - Clément Lavallée returned home to the northern reaches of Burgundy in 2018. Fast forward to present, and he’s producing nearly a dozen different wines from organic vineyards in and around Chablis. This white wine is the flagship. It’s salty, focused, and richly textured, highlighting why Clément has become one of the fastest rising stars in Chablis.

Clément Lavallée works organically and therefore uses no chemicals or insecticides in the vineyard. Only native yeast and no sulfur are used during the vinification process. The must moves Lavallée by gravity and not by pumping. Lavallée has small plots. In total it is about five hectares. He is part of a new generation of winemakers who are exploring the enormous (biological) potential that still lies undiscovered in Burgundy.
