Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 2, 2023 - Sunday afternoon drinks at home with neighbourhood friends. Tasted blind. 1 day old sample from bottle. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of lemon drop oil, underlying stony minerals, some saline breeze. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of lightly honeyed citrus lemon drop oil, stonefruits, underlying saline and stony minerality. Rich lightly waxy oily mouthfeel. Rich long finish where you really feel the amount of dry extract.
Very good quality. Ripe citrus nose didn't lead me to Chablis immediately. I didn't really get much oak sensation. Has certainly the heft you would expect from a Raveneau 1er. Can age a few more years maybe 4-5 tops for max enjoyment in my humble opinion.
