Arnaud Lavantureux

The Path

Since 2010, Arnaud Lavantureux has worked at the family Domaine Roland Lavantureux, where continuity is part of the craft. A long presence in one house matters in wine: it means the same hands returning to the same site, the same cellar, the same family name, with each season adding to the record. At a domaine like this, repetition is not routine for its own sake; it is how knowledge stays useful.

The Work Today

Winemaking and vinification at the estate in Lignorelles remain the core of the job. The work follows the demands of the grapes, the cellar, and the year’s weather, with decisions made in the space between harvest and bottle. Arnaud Lavantureux sits in that middle ground, where the task is to turn a season into something coherent and expressive without overworking it. The public tone stays practical as well, centered on what has just been done and what still has to be prepared.

Signature

Arnaud's signature wines include 2017 Petite Chablis, 2017 Chablis Vieilles-Vignes, Chablis Vauprin 2022, and Bourgogne Épineuil Les Fauconniers 2022. Read together, they point to a working style built across vintages and places, with the domaine’s precise sensibility carried from one release to the next.

In Their Words “It's been a very tough year, both physically and mentally. We're relieved the harvest is over. I'm exhausted.” “We've put this harvest behind us. Now it's time to think on the next one.”

Acclaim

The public voice around the work is blunt and unadorned: “We've put this harvest behind us. We're relieved the harvest is over. I'm exhausted.” That kind of language does not reach for polish. It simply states what a hard season costs, and what the craft demands after the work is done: recovery, attention, and readiness for the next cycle.
