| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.9 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 12/24/2023 flawed bottle: Not from my owc. A friend generously opened it. A clearly advanced bottle but still drinking well as a mid-90s Burgundy. Quite nutty and caramelized. Drank like a mid-90s Comte Lafon Meursault. (454 views) | | | Tasted by Honey Badger on 9/29/2023 & rated 93 points: It really needs air (1-2 hours) to blossom and thrives with food but it has loads of acidity and drive and it’s completely delicious. (276 views) | | | Tasted by Brolawa on 8/23/2023: H2/3. Ann’y dinner at Iconiq. Still fresh. (244 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 1/29/2020 & rated 93 points: From an owc. It took a good 2.5 hours for the wine to blossom. Lemon curd, breeze, seashell, stone fruit, tropical, light herbs and perfume. Palate was precise but also intense with a long finish. More like a Puligny grand cru than a Chablis, like many Raveneau with age. Easily 20-30 years ahead of it. 93++ (1327 views) | | | Tasted by Jnp2 on 5/17/2019 & rated 95 points: Incredibly delicious (1042 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 8/13/2018 & rated 94 points: Light gold, perfect shape, aromatic with hay, apricot pit, apple skin, lovely character, excellent balance, medium acidity with good lift, some nice earthy components, long finish. Wow. Majordomo. (1210 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 10/12/2016 & rated 94 points: This bottle was much fresher than the one from a few weeks ago. Classic Chablis stony, but lightish weight, persistence. Very quietly fantastic. (2029 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 9/10/2016 & rated 92 points: A gorgeous wine with oodles of class but lacking the vivacity and punch of a great wine. (2007 views) | | | Tasted by esh44 on 8/16/2016: Phenomenal. For my palate, Raveneau with some age has a certain muskiness to it, and this was here in spades. Layers of flavors here -- crisp citrus fruit, bright acidity, salty rocks, some floral notes. Love it. (1458 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 2/20/2015 & rated 94 points: Stellar showing. Perfect bottle that was deep, alive and layered. Wonderful iodine and crab shells gave way to secondary notes of mushroom and broth. Pristine and outclassing younger chablis grand cru at the table. My final bottle. Drink and savor if you have them. (2272 views) | | | Tasted by KenK on 11/24/2012 & rated 92 points: Very dirty, earthy nose lemon oil.
Quite tart with a hint of sherry. Nice sweet sour quality. Lemon finish, my guess is this was a big wine, but now maybe just slightly a bit oxidized. 92 (3428 views) | | | Tasted by psmith on 11/23/2012 & rated 89 points: Friday after Thanksgiving II (Palm Beach Gardens, FL): Very raw at this stage. Chalky, with more restrained citrus notes barely coming through. All structural. (3555 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 11/23/2012 & rated 90 points: Friday after Thanksgiving (FAT) (Palm Beach Gardens FL): Tasting, brief note. Starting to show show mature elements on nose and palate. Lemon with some pear throughout. Medium intensity and nuance, somewhat earthy. (3556 views) | | | Tasted by yacobove on 12/3/2011 & rated 97 points: Powerful mineral nose that hangs in the nostrils for many seconds. A little bit of musty funk and vegetation. Showed the age beautifully. Very buttery taste, melts in your mouth with great acidity. Would compare the taste to a cote de beaune white and the nose to a chablis. Incredibly long finish that sings; a magical Chablis experience. 97+ (2892 views) | | | Tasted by reichken on 6/23/2009 & rated 92 points: "Champagne, Chablis and a Touch of Red" Dinner (HIX Oyster and Chophouse, London): Wine shows that green lemon yellow color (not bad for 13 year old chables!!!wow!!!) this again still had a bit of mineral ocean nose (i guess some would call it beachy sulfur) really fresh clean and bright in the mouth. citrus and lemon but in a lovely fresh way. this wine had length and stayed fresh through dinner. very much enjoyed this and imagine this wine has 5+ years left on it easily (3273 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 8/5/2008: Full yellow color. Nose dominated by sea breeze and spiritous high tones-this is not primarily about the fruit! Light bodied and lemony with acidity that is bracing but not over the top; what amazing power, chalky intensity, and reverberation in the mouth for its weight, reminiscent of great red Burgundy in this respect. Like a tightly compressed spring waiting to uncoil, this only hinted at some butter, honey and any secondary development at the very end of its time with us at the table. A lean, long distance runner, this is just wonderful, old fashioned "vrai Chablis". Tremendous bottle now but this could easily last for another decade. (1842 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 12/21/2006 & rated 93 points: Raveneau Chablis “Butteaux” 1984-1999 Blindtasting (Tom's House, Palo Alto, CA): Group's #1 (my #3) – 71 pts; 4, 4, 3, 3 – pale canary yellow color; tangy orange, egg and cream nose with a bit of sulfur; tart citrus and bright lemon on the palate with a rich, creamy texture; medium finish (more like a white Burgundy than Chablis) (1651 views) |

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
