2001 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux
Community Tasting Note
Tony Ling Likes this wine:
Saturday, May 2, 2020 - PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Fruit” day): Medium golden to the eyes.
“Cool-breeze” sense of reduction notes upfront. This is more towards riper yellow and orchard fruits, hints of exotic fruits like pineapples that might come from the botrytis influence. Dash of white peppers. Some mushroom like notes that makes this all the more interesting.
This is a different profile from the 1997 Montée de Tonnerre tried just a while ago, this is arguably less structured and more ready to be consumed.
Still, 93-94 points for me easily.
1 hour upon opening, second pour, 4/5 left: Freshly baked bread and yeast. Butterscotch and hay. Very nice.
3 hours upon opening, 1/3 left: More complete on the palate now but a little bittersweet on the finish.
