nose - tropical mouth - delicious, very ripe, has a tropicality that i do not expect to find in chablis with notes of banana and passionfruit. excellent minerality on the long and very clean finish. lots of pleasure here but a bit of a head scratcher.
The pricing on this cuvee is silly.

Really nice, fresh, and complex nose with citrus, some butter, and salty popcorn notes. Much less ripe than I had expected. On the palate, there's excellent weight, lifted by nice acidity and lots of lemon and minerals. Just a bit richer towards the back of the palate and a long and lingering finish. I would never had guessed this was a 2003. Excellent wine and still remarkably fresh!

Decanted for 3 hours. Very chablis nose of lemon, oyster shell, honey and beeswax. Deep, rich palate, lemon chiffon flavors on a fairly glossy texture. Lacks acid but has an alluring lemon rind finish that adds interest. The rich, deep texture is a unique expression of Chablis and an artifact of the vintage but very enjoyable.

Wine tasting Dinner - sundry HQ (J,S,J,K) (At home): Bottle in perfect condition. High acidity, a rich wine, stone fruit, toast and a note of butter. Tasted against Kumeu River Hunting Hill 2015. Raveneau is in my opinion Chablis's best producer. However, I must admit, Kumeu River tasted like a Chassagne-Montrachet and was by our extremely experienced guests guessed as such. 12 years younger but also complex and well balanced and maybe a little better than Raveneau ( I gave Kumeu River 94+ and the price is less than a tenth of Raveneau)
