Raveneau MdT and Chapelot (Chicago, IL): Certainly my least favourite bottle in the lineup tonight. It's more of a ready-to-drink, lighter style, but what perturbs me the most is the clear dose of 2011 green on the palate here. That said, this is very true to the vintage (ha!) but I do enjoy the lightness of this wine as a contrast to the more opulent and richer wines that we had in the lineup tonight. But it's not a vintage I'm running out to buy more of.

A little more true Chablis than the 12 or 13 but very good. Not an exuberant coastal marine nose, but it’s there. Open and round but with real verve and sone lemon grip on the finish. Very good indeed. Huge drive and intensity on the finsih. Coastal sea net elements come through with time.

Ripe fruit and ready to drink as a pop and pour, this was delicious but didn't have the tension the best vintages possess. Tasted multiple bottles tonight with consistent impression. Recommend drinking these sooner than later.

Finesse and good acidity fruit balance. Excellent depth for a PC

Lovely Raveneau. In a more open knit and welcoming style that reflects 2011 I think. In a great spot
