Rob comes to London (67 Pall Mall): Another stunning Raveneau MdT (after the 2007 a few weeks ago). Very buttery on the nose, with some herbs. The glory of this wine was on the palate, though, which was saline, bitter and juicy, crisp with the flavour of lime cordial then creamier like tom yum soup, and also marked by notes of sassafrass and quinine. All these notes were beautifully integrated, the wine being intense yet dreamy, and remarkably weightless despite being so sensual. Quite wonderful.

I love Raveneau. It almost feels like a letdown though when the bottle delivers a merely excellent experience. Oyster shell, salinity, and citrus with creamy, perfectly integrated oak tones. It hits all the notes but is just missing the electricity that can elevate it to the spheres. Excellent.

Middag med venner: Blind. Sitrus, mineralsk, grønne urter, fennikel. Fedme i utgang, kompleks, graperuktbitter finish, balansert og med godt grep. Allikevel inne i drikkevinduet.

(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre) Light yellow color; tart apple, lemon nose with a little reduction; tight but appealing, minerally, tart lemon, citrus palate that needs another 3-5 years; medium-plus finish
(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre) Light canary yellow color; nice mineral, beeswax nose; yummy, minerally, tart citrus, tart lemon palate with elegance and cut, and a hint of honeycomb appearing after 1 hour in the glass; medium-plus finish
(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre) Lemon gelato and oily nose; very tasty, light-medium bodied, lemon and mineral palate; medium finish

Winetasting dinner Raveneau, Rousseau, Liger Belair, DRC (FB (E.S.)): Full bodied and more intense aromas than Chapelot 2008. Full of Raveneau's toasty notes. Long finish

Magnum. Vraiment chablis. Still energetic and fresh in this format. A total pleasure for true Chablis heads
