Wow, how gorgeously mature yet so powerful and fresh. The green apple fruit is still present and round, with a powerful mineral undercurrent, culminating in a long mineral, citrus finish. Unbelievably powerful and seamless.

Decanted for 1 hour. Full yellow color. Lemon, iodine and light sea brine on the nose. The palate is on point, crisp, light and lemon infused with a bit of sweetness and a spicy drying element on the finish. Not a lot of complexity, but the balance between acidity and sweetness is perfect. Really good.

Had this at the Charleston off-line for Burgundy night.
This was part of the first Burgundy flight of the night, served along side the 2005 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos
This was a few years older than the Dauvissat and had a darker, richer color . Another beautiful wine with complex flavors of lemon, orange peel, vanilla, saline and chalk. Another choice that worked well with seafood.

(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Chapelot) Light canary yellow color; sulfur, mineral nose initially, opens to a lovely bright lemon, citrus and mineral nose; tasty, tart, mineral palate with high acidity; medium-plus finish 93+ pts.

Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Obelix - Chicago IL): Small glass, what a treat. Lots of lemon, ranging from fresh to custard with an intense richness and brightness.

Solid, but a bit more linear and without the complexity of other '02 Raveneau premier crus. Some rocky and saline notes on the finish. 92-93
