Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 30, 2009 - This wine was decanted and poured. Initially this is a very atypical Raveneau. The wine starts out on the bouquet and palate as more "chardonnay" than Chablis or Ravneau. Initially the aromatics can be described as forward, primary and slightly buttery. The color is a very light yellow with a tinge of green. The palate continues the theme of the bouquet. Despite the initial atypical nature of the wine, it does possess the excellent balance often found in Raveneau's wines. The wine evolves with airing and after about an hour begins to take on traits associated with the wines of Raveneau. The bouquet shifts and begins to show oyster shell, mineral, rocks and citrus notes. The palate evolves to show more acidity, complexity and focus. The wine demonstrates outstanding balance from beginning to end.
