At this stage, needs a lot of air - perhaps no harm in decanting. Had this open in bottle about 3hrs before the first pour/taste. This is archetypal Chablis in a classic vintage - it has incredible cut and length. Flavors and aromas of seaspray, oyster shell, crushed wet rocks, seaweed, green apple, citrus peel, citrus oil. Linear and focused, chalky midpalate. With more air the midpalate starts to flesh out and gain weight. It's a nice preview but will need another 5+ years to really hit it's stride.

Light golden - is there a hint of green? Saline, ocean breeze influenced nose has some yellow fruit - not overpowering, but pure. The Raveneau depth presents itself more on the palate which leans towards richness yet is restrained by the vintage. More linear than many wines I have drunk from Raveneau. Very good, indeed. But not magic. (91)

This might have been the best Chablis I have ever had in my life. Brought by a friend to our Burgundy dinner where I was the only newbie. So chalky and mineral on the nose. Lemon zesty on the palate. But I never knew a Chablis could be so creamy and silky. A real treat and great with Branzino starter

Very pretty wine. In an excellent place right now. Like most Raveneau improved massively 1hr after being opened. Texturally superb wine with very food friendly acid and balance. Cant see this improving. Drink up. 17.5
