2005 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre
Community Tasting Note

92 Points
Tuesday, December 24, 2013 - Light golden color. Quite reserved on both the nose and palate at first. Within an hour, the wine became much more expressive - beautiful nose of minerals, spices and citrus. Apple, wet stones with a honey element on the palate. Great balance so plenty of life ahead. An excellent pairing with the crab cakes and certainly a great addition to Christmas Eve dinner.

So good to know there's plenty of life ahead.
Until 2023? What do you think?

That being said, the '05 Raveneau Chablis MDT certainly has the structure and acidity necessary to age another 10+ years assuming proper storage conditions. No evidence of premox here or in any of the bottles of Raveneau I have had the pleasure of drinking. Merry Christmas to you as well!
