  Fuller than I expected, perhaps due to the age. There was a slight edge / undertaste to it that meant this was not as crisp as I had hoped. Disappointing by the high standards of the vineyard.

  quintessential Raveneau, full yet elegant, striking acidity matched with the minearlity and body.

  Intoxicating nose of lemon, apricot, beeswax, smoke, buttered toast and iodine. Some reduction with really great depth, brightness and complexity. On the palate it has good volume while being magnificently firm, delineated, grippy and lifted. A supremely textured white. Altogether savory and as usual terrific use of oak. Minerally and citrusy with fantastic saltiness. Impeccably balanced with lingering finish. Very young still, great future ahead but immensely drinkable and enjoyable at this very moment.

  tropical notes with a touch of honey. richer than I'd have imagined and atypical for chablis IMHO.

  Not up there with the very best Raveneau I’ve tried but this did not disappoint (as it hardly ever does). Still a bit young for my taste, but it was quite approachable immediately out of the gates and got better as lunch progressed. Definitely recognizable as Raveneau with its seamless texture and purity of flavors. Very good indeed and will get better with a few years of age I think.
