| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.6 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 104 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Dibbs on 10/7/2023 & rated 96 points: What a wine! My WOTN although it got muted at the end of the night. But at the beginning I couldn’t move away from this wine. It had this beautiful texture of lemon lime custard tart without the sweetness. Magnificent and need to buy these!! (902 views) | | | Tasted by wineton.mee on 10/6/2023 & rated 94 points: Greek yoghurt, lemon oil, iodine, sea salt. The tension on this wine is so good and so classically Raveneau, being both chiselled yet broad shouldered all at once. Some nice tertiary development as well in the form of honey and bruised apple. The richness of the wine is obvious although not as opulent as other vintage from this cuvée and while this is excellent (and I loved it), probably doesn’t hit the heady heights this maker can achieve with some proper age. (790 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 10/6/2023 & rated 94 points: Birthday dinner with good wine friends: Not as large-framed as my previous Raveneau experience. Still quite round but the mineral and citrus fruit dominated to give a superb tension to the wine. A balanced and poised wine, was a crowd favourite at the start but started to lose its structure with time. Glad to have shared this since top producers can be transcendental and Chablis as a region can be overlooked. (1046 views) | | | Tasted by Blair Curtis on 9/18/2023 & rated 93 points: Had this alongside the 2008 of the same wine. The 2008 was the better wine on this night by a wee bit. The 2008 bottle we had was fresher, brighter, more clear and had a bit more mineral bite. The 2007 opened with some pleasant lactic/cheese notes, and had a slightly fatter (for Raveneau) presentation. It was showing more maturity and some honeyed notes - but to be clear, not even a hint of prem-ox. Just showing its proper age (it is 16 after all), while the 2008 bottle we enjoyed remained more youthful. My last bottle of this 2007 was opened over 5 years ago, and I can say that the wine has shown some development over that period - which some white Burg fans would enjoy a lot. At a Paulee event, these really stood out positively among the whites...quite a few of which were either too young, or prem-oxed. (896 views) | | | Tasted by psi on 9/14/2023 & rated 93 points: Painfully young (!). A typical Raveneau in its youth with sea and salty white stones, very mineral and tightly wound. Notes of lemon and bitter sweet grapefuit, quite floral and a profound acidity. This was drunk at least 5 years too early and had none of the more mature and exotic Raveneau notes that are absolutely magic. Oh well, an acquired taste and not the least hedonistic. Intellectual and dry. That's ok, but damn you need to wait a long time for these wines to mature... (469 views) | | | Tasted by Kemo Sabe on 6/11/2023 & rated 93 points: Great bottle. Lemon, saline, sea shells, ocean rocks and even some hazelnut on the finish. Zero oxidation. Tons of nuance and depth. In the zone. (862 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 7/21/2022 flawed bottle: PNP. Mildly corked. Nose is disappointing, but the palate is still lively with a lovely texture and redeeming lemon based acidity. (1557 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 6/13/2022 & rated 91 points: The 2007 Raveneau Butteaux is drinking beautifully today. Expressive fruits with textbook Raveneau sweet oak toast and waxy white fruits. Ample energy and refreshing acidity, this will probably drink well over the next 15-20 years. Tasted blind and guessed Raveneau Chablis 1er 2010. Outstanding. (91/100) (2086 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 3/25/2022: Raveneau's 2007 Butteaux is aromatically appealing with a tide pool nose of iodine and oyster shell with a bit of honey. Palate is structurally balanced with bright acidity but the density of flavor doesn't match the nose, finishing a bit short. (1433 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 3/10/2022 & rated 93 points: Zachy's La Paulee 2022 (Le Bernardin Prive): Eight hours of air. Beautifully balanced, so sweet and plentiful. Edgeless yet great acidity. 93-94 (2174 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 12/18/2021 & rated 92 points: Magnum Holiday Dinner (Hao Noodle): Identifiably Raveneau in the lineup, some green and underripe qualities in this vintage? 92 (2021 views) | | | Tasted by Ispendtoomuchmoneyonwine on 10/30/2021 & rated 88 points: Nose of ocean air but not in a good way. In the mouth smooth as silk with thickness. Lack of acidity makes it flat and past it’s best. Better to drink than to taste. On the decline (1538 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 9/10/2021 & rated 93 points: Seashell, citrus, lemon and rocks. Classic Raveneau with excellent balance between minerality and fruit. Good acidity support. Drinking well for a young Raveneau. Lots of potential. (1742 views) | | | Tasted by WEB,III on 8/9/2021 & rated 92 points: Excellent showing. (1702 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 6/26/2021 & rated 93 points: Popped and poured. Good color, pale yellow. The nose is effusive with sea brine, lemon rind and a broth/earthy element. Lovely palate, rich and deep without being fat. Lemon infused acidity and a glossy texture. Long, mouth watering finish. Classic Raveneau. (1535 views) | | | Tasted by WEB,III on 5/9/2021 flawed bottle: Corked (1503 views) | | | Tasted by L-C. on 3/4/2021: After reading the most recent notes, I can only conclude that I must have had a bad bottle. This was rather disappointing. The nose was interesting, with some ripe fruit, but had an unexpected petrol note. Searing acidity in the mouth, that was to me not really balanced with the rest. Overall disappointing to me, given the other wines of this producer that I had tasted in the past. (1519 views) | | | Tasted by fatboi on 12/13/2020 & rated 94 points: not quite as good as the 07 blanchots I had over a month ago but this was delicious. oyster shells, minerality and opulent. This just got better with air and continued to come together. great verve as well. 94/95 (1785 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 12/31/2019 & rated 92 points: Drank at 67
Rich buttery and delicious (2433 views) | | | Tasted by Kim Gerner on 8/21/2019 & rated 95 points: Raveneau, Zind Humbrecht etc - Wine tasting dinner (Erik Sørensen, Søllerød Kro): Very rich and high intensity, apricot, grapefruit, toffee, clearly developed in a very good way. Perfect balance. Simply an outstanding wine performing so much better than vintage 2011, which I scored 91 (1496 views) | | | Tasted by danstrings on 7/23/2019 & rated 92 points: Gorgeous, showing some more development with exotic hazelnut/argan oils, a bready- umami note, yet good salinity and freshness. (2701 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 5/2/2019 & rated 95 points: Dinner at PST (Chicago, IL): Absolutely gorgeous bottle of Raveneau. I feel like I've been a bit down on the wines of late, but this is one that brings me back to the fold. The nose has a slight hint of reduction that blows off quickly, leaving you with this beautiful expression of chardonnay that encapsulates all the good things of Chablis and the stylization of the house. A mild hint of lemon curd, a lovely dose of salinity, plenty of acid and minerals, with a roundness that balances out all of the leaner elements. It's definitely a big wine, as it should be. And I have to trot out my worn out Sir Mix-A-Lot line: I like big Butteaux and I cannot lie. (3503 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 5/2/2019 & rated 94 points: Second bottle in a couple of months, apparently. I liked this just as much, if not a little bit more than the prior bottle. The nose is jut rocking with a melange of orchard fruit, florals and minerality. The palate is broad and round, yet tense. Superb. Much better than a more lean '11 side by side. (2670 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 3/13/2019 & rated 93 points: A fine vintage and bottle of this wine. The nose beams with green apple and intense mineral and sea breeze. Steely, fresh on the palate with excellent fruit concentration. Round and nervy at one — love that combo. (2582 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 3/13/2019 & rated 93 points: Dinner at S.K.Y. (Chicago, IL): This is a fair bit of contrast from the 14 Foret I had last week (at the same venue, and just one seat over, I might irrelevantly add). This is a richer and broader wine, with a slight bit of waxiness on the nose and palate, but there is ample acidity to cut through it. I haven't really figured out the 2007 vintage yet -- sometimes I find that the wines have really nice cut, but other times, they come off a little thick for me. This bottle seemed to straddle the two well though -- the ripe fruit and acidity are in good balance here. For my palate, definitely ready to go.

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
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."
