Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 1, 2024 - Opened and decanted. Yellow. Young Raveneau aromas of beeswax and honeysuckle. Medium weight, obvious oak base. Ripe pear and vanilla with a curious lack of grip and intensity. Only average acidity and little in the way of other distinguishing Chablis character. Sound but a gross disappointment. This should be far better than it showed tonight.
