consistently excellent over the years, this is just how I love my Chablis. Light and lean, with florals, stony salinity, ripe melon, and a touch of minerals. Raveneau really did a great job in the 10 and 11 vintages

Out of Mag, which had been purchased from the original retailer many years ago, and in pristine condition. I’ve had this wine many times over the years, and this was an excellent showing. In this format the freshness was remarkable: tannins have largely melted away and there’s great lift from the acidity, and almost silky texture. Lots of development with tobacco, leather, baking spice….the fruit was in balance even if it was sharing the stage with these secondary notes

Floral, stemmy/herbaceous, and spicy….effortlessly glides along across the palate. 95-96
