Thursday, June 3, 2010 - Raveneau's 2007 Premier Crus and Valmur (Vin Vino, Palo Alto): Minty, green aromatics with other spices showing up later. Medium weight, not that much different from the Vaillons, but this has an incredible sense of dry extract which gives the wine a completely different feel in the mouth. The fruit has more of a crabapple quality than citrus. Overall, the impression is that this is dry, backward, serious, and rather stern compared to the rest of the range. Bitterness, great dirt on the back end, and the finish shows impressive reserves of well concealed acidity. Today, I preferred this to the Montee de Tonnerre and thought that it even gave the Valmur a run for its money. Great Premier Cru.
