4th time with this wine and if anything it just keeps getting better and better. Honeyed without being sweet, glides across the palate with high acidity that feels however mellow due to the fruit intensity it packs. If this was my wine of the tasting a few months back out of all Raveneau GC from 05, 08, 10 and 12 this showing cements how complete this wine is. I just hope to see this again a few times with another 1-2 decades of bottle age. It should be a timless classic that could reach scentillating heights.

Raveneau Grand Cru with Maxime Raveneau (110 Taillevent London): During Raveneau dinner with Maxime Raveneau sampling all three GCs 12/10/08/05 at 110 Taillevent London. No formal notes taken. Clos 2010 has been a favorite of mine and having been fortunate enough to drink it twice before it didn't disappoint on this occassion either and in the context of all those other great wines. I love the 2010 vintage for Raveneau wines and the Clos is the pinnacle of it just pipping the also excellent 2 other GCs. It's at a 96 level today but has potential to push even higher and become legendary.

A great showing. One of the best Clos from Raveneau that I can remember. For the long haul

Really good showing. Quite powerful. Opened over the course of one hour. Good focus for such a big wine.

Beautiful Chablis, at once subtle yet complex, a perfect juxtaposition. Immediately open, lemon zest and chamomile tea on the nose, finish lingers.
