2005 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

This bottle was revelatory. Acidity, alcohol, and fruit were amazingly balanced, intense, and complex. This is one of the most compelling whites I've ever tasted: lime, bergamot, and grapefruit, but in a really essential qualitative way. I can only imagine the wine will take on more weight and complexity with another 7-10 years, but it was a real privilege to get to enjoy it now.

This bottle was a disappointment. Astringent, with little fruit, even after brief exposure to air and then gassing overnight.

Either a bad bottle or an awkward stage for this wine. I've been a real supporter of the style of this wine since the 1999 vintage, when I found out about them. Everything about this wine was disjointed, and the fruit tasted stewed. Strong alcohol on the nose. Only half the bottle was drunk, so I'll come back to it today to see if there is any improvement.
