2008 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Chapelot

Pale gold colour. I love the typical Raveneau aromas of toast. Aromas fade away pretty fast. Very high acidity
White
2004 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre
93 points
Full bodied and more intense aromas than Chapelot 2008. Full of Raveneau's toasty notes. Long finish
White
2009 François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur
95 points
Medium gold colour. Very high acidity and more intensity than Chapelot 2008 and Montee de Tonnere 2004. On the other hand also a little closed right now and more feminin. Beginning tertiary notes of almond.

This is something special. Young so still very fruity. Of course it has lots of potential for further ageing but it can definitely also drink now! My rating is based on performance right now. 97+

2020 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Corton-Charlemagne

Extremely concentrated and rich. Full bodied No complexity and balance at the moment. Much of it is hopefully related to it's youthfulness. Medium+ acidity. It is difficult to understand the hype and price around this wine when it comes to the quality. For me it is not at same level as other DRC cuvees. 92+
