Not from my owc. A friend generously opened it. A clearly advanced bottle but still drinking well as a mid-90s Burgundy. Quite nutty and caramelized. Drank like a mid-90s Comte Lafon Meursault.

From an owc. It took a good 2.5 hours for the wine to blossom. Lemon curd, breeze, seashell, stone fruit, tropical, light herbs and perfume. Palate was precise but also intense with a long finish. More like a Puligny grand cru than a Chablis, like many Raveneau with age. Easily 20-30 years ahead of it. 93++

(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux) Group's #1 (my #3) – 71 pts; 4, 4, 3, 3 – pale canary yellow color; tangy orange, egg and cream nose with a bit of sulfur; tart citrus and bright lemon on the palate with a rich, creamy texture; medium finish (more like a white Burgundy than Chablis)

It really needs air (1-2 hours) to blossom and thrives with food but it has loads of acidity and drive and it’s completely delicious.
