November 8, 2023 - Light yellow with remaining green tinge. Enticing white flowers and citrus aromas. Medium weight with a little glycerine. Excellent breadth of flavors including lemon confit, iodine, and soil. This is old enough to have shed the signature Raveneau hazelnut and beeswax to reveal more of its Chablis core. Surprisingly though, the acidity fell a bit short, depriving it of some intensity and tension. Excellent wine nonetheless and very fresh, just not worth its current resale price.
More vanillin and astringency the second night. Definitely not better. -

July 27, 2023 - Opened at 4pm and drunk at 9pm. Along with 02, 04 and the majestic 2010, 08 is one of my absolute favorite vintages from Raveneau and it’s absolutely rocking tonight showing superb weight, density and waxy yellow fruit that’s layered with stony minerality and piercing lemony acids. 08 Raveneau is all about that Chablisian balance: proper levels of richness and acid, ripeness and minerality. Code yellow ftw 🙌🏻

June 17, 2023 - Good showing. Open a few hrs before we drank and with that amount of air feels fully resolved and ready. Touch of exotic on the nose I haven’t gotten before
