November 10, 2023 - Next to 13 Dauvissat, very different from a bottle tasted three years ago, showing very structured and dimensional on the palate with very good vintage fruit quality/richness, intense minerality resolved. 93-94
September 16, 2023 - Bottle was affected on nose but nutty on palate. Ultimately a miss but could feel it’s excellence in distance. Drink up. Dinner at B&Hs
December 24, 2022 - This was a joy. Not had any Rav of this age as most have been 5-10 years old.
Cork perfect and high fill. On the nose perfect with that coastal element MdT has.
Initially a real tangy / sea element appeared on the finish but next time I’ll decant it for 30 mins at least.
Give this an hour or two and it really blossoms. Soft creamy, mineral coastal nose. Some lift in middle with a touch of grip on finish saying Chablis.
After a good amount of air this really came alive and feels so much younger that it is. I’m sure the bottle will last some time but I’ll drink mine at suitable events soon.
October 2, 2022 - definitely showed its age, but it was not in the least bit tired... lots of golden fruit, nutty and honeyed tones, classic wet stone and seabreeze too... on the palate it is rounded, the acidity is moderate and it stays fresh, but it doesn't have the kind of tension and lift I expect from Chablis, not a slouch though, this is a pleasure... probably best to drink it up in the next 3 to 5 though...
July 30, 2022 - At the peak of its window, this is magnificent and would do justice to a grand cru. The nose is aromatic with apple and pear with the latter dominant on the palate. The finish is clean and lengthy and perfectly balanced. A perfect Chablis.
January 11, 2022 - Raveneau Monte de Tonnerre 1999.
Wow!
Renere blir det ikke.
Her er vi tilbake til det klassiske Chablis.
Sjø, sitrus, kritt og blomster.
Ultra-presis frukt med pirrende intensitet.
Elegant og fokusert.
En drøm å drikke, selv om den fortsatt er ungdommelig.
Lang utrolig mineralsk finish.
Helt strålende vin. 95p
March 7, 2020 - Wine Tasted at Acker Auction (Marea - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Starts out much richer and riper than typical for Raveneau with lots of orchard fruit start-to-finish. Nicely mature, doubt there is any further upside.
March 7, 2020 - Green stony medium-ripe fruit, good precision, bland palate. 90
January 20, 2019 - Badly oxidized example.
August 16, 2018 - Badly pre-moxed, gold color, sherry on the nose and flat palate.
