| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 44 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AudunG on 8/4/2023 & rated 91 points: Surprisingly dark and developed color, which became lighter after a while. Aromas of nuts, vanilla, smoke, anise/chervil and some sea shore. Soft, light weighted and elegant, and quite typical for 2007. A bit over the top, maybe. (370 views) | | | Tasted by bookert on 5/25/2023 & rated 90 points: Highly acidic, almost harsh, upon opening. Softened after an hour to show honey notes. (341 views) | | | Tasted by vinkeger on 1/14/2023 flawed bottle: Virker veldig utviklet ved åpning. Nedfallsfrukt og litt platt. Virker 10 år eldre enn den er.
Lar den stå åpen i et par timer. Blir faktisk betydelig bedre.
De overmodne aromaene forsvinner stort sett. Tilbake står en vin som har gul og smått eksotisk frukt, med et tydelig salt innslag. Har fortsatt mye modning.
I munn er den ganske syrlig og litt skarp, på en dårlig måte. Raveneaus viner pleier å være nokså softe og behagelige, men denne er ikke det.
Fortsatt en god vin, men må ha vært en suboptimal flaske. (723 views) | | | Tasted by InVinjeVeritas on 2/15/2022 & rated 96 points: Drunk from coravin over 6 weeks. Really wonderful. Consentrated and powerful, something between a chablis and a cetral burgundy. Its in its drinking window now, but it might improve further. (1203 views) | | | Tasted by InVinjeVeritas on 12/25/2021 & rated 92 points: Tested from coravin. Rich wine with hints of honey and sea. Lots of acid, seems to be a bit tight. Would wait a few more years or decant for several hours. (1130 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 10/17/2020 & rated 94 points: Slightly dark gold but clear and bright in great shape; complex nose of soft spices, caramel, apple skin and the like; rich, almost oily mouthfeel but elegant on the palate, slightly less concentration than the Dauvissat Clos, but more intense in flavor; amazing super long finish. Killer Chablis especially at this age. The 07 Les Clos was excellent too but was overshadowed a bit with its youth. Oo Toro in Walnut. (1523 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 7/11/2020: Almost smells like there’s some botrytis to the fruit, with its expressive nose of lavender and apricot. It has good depth of preserved citrus flavour. It is rich and voluminous, with excellent freshness to the back-end. (1439 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 4/29/2020 & rated 94 points: Faultless, so youthful at 13 years. Pure mineral led palate with richness at the core. Wonderful balance and glorious on the finish
Though cannot not ever will fathom how this can be worth £250 a bottle. That is massively over egging the actual quality. (1394 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 1/18/2020 & rated 97 points: Chablis doesn’t come better
I see it was 5 years since the previous bottle and so I can report conclusively that this wine has benefit massively from 12 years of age. In a perfect spot NOW
Alas only one bottle left. (1279 views) | | | Tasted by cos82 on 12/13/2018 & rated 91 points: Very pale almost like water. Nose of minerals. Smooth and balanced palate of mostly minerals. Lacking acidity, but nice nonetheless. Served a bit too warm. (1444 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/8/2018: Medium yellow that retains a green glint. Last year when I had a bottle of this, sulfur made it somewhat difficult to appreciate-not this time. All oyster shell, iodine, and herbs aromatically. Medium weight (lighter body than many Raveneaus) with just a kiss of wood giving depth but none of the honeysuckle/beeswax that can mark these wines. Just a youthful, brothy, mineral elixir in the mouth that makes you wonder how in the world this came from a grape, yet it doesn't make you pine for any lack of fruit. Overtly saline finish. Pretty much perfection for Premier Cru Chablis, and this bottle shouted its origins more clearly than almost any other Chablis I've had recently. I think that 2007 can be greatly underestimated in the region. (1915 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 4/17/2018 & rated 92 points: Gikk rett til Chablis på denne.
Stille og rolig vin.
Subtil med vakre dufter av blomster, krydder, sitrus og kritt.
Ok - flaskens eier kåla med karafler!
Dette er Raveneau Vaillons 2007.
Legger på seg med varme i glasset.
Smooth og relativt rik munnfølse med pen moden frukt.
Fresh syre.
Fin mineralitet og pen lengde. (1704 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 3/25/2018: Has the lemon cream going on. Well-balanced with good zip that keeps you coming back to the glass. Another fantastic Raveneau. Drinking well now but, like many of these wines, this is aging very slowly and probably has years to go. (1563 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 12/8/2017: Light yellow, definitely paler than the '07 Dauvissat Vaillons next to it. A brief whiff of the Raveneau creaminess and then deeply embedded sulfur which took a long time to loosen its grip. Like the Dauvissat, well and truly Chablis in its bracing acidity and austere citrus tilting toward orange rather than lemon, but eventually, more wood showed up, giving it a broader feel. Begrudgingly, it became more floral with air. This wine is stubbornly young and needs to be decanted for at least a few hours if it is to be fully enjoyed now, but better still, leave it for another 3 to 5 years. For current drinking, the Dauvissat wins hands down.
Well, the sulfur did its preservation magic overnight and was greatly diminished the next day. Now the wine is rounder and shows more of the Raveneau texture and flavor of beeswax while retaining impressive shape and a lemony core. After retasting it tonight, I am much more confident about a very positive future and long evolution. (1834 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 4/23/2017 & rated 93 points: Ungdommelig i frukten med hint av sjø, stein og noen lekre florale toner.
Fin intensitet med litt pondus.
Vokser veldig.
Elegant munnfølelse.
God konsentrasjon og fin friskhet.
Intensiteten drar på i mellompartiet.
Veldig presis og stram i utgangen.
Dette tåler mange år.
Lang finish med en nydelig krittaktig mineralitet.
Flott ung vin. (2006 views) | | | Tasted by RuneW on 4/21/2017 & rated 93 points: Mellomgul på farge. Dyp og deilig duft av sjø, kalk, stein og mørkere gul frukt.
Fet munnfølelse, tett og konsentrert, mineralsk, og med en intens og prikkende syre. Kjempelengde. Har ikke skjønt meg helt på chablis til nå, men dette begynner å hjelpe. Denne skulle jeg gjerne prøvd igjen om 5 år! (1382 views) | | | Tasted by LPEG on 4/21/2017 & rated 94 points: Intens, lasersyre og lime. Ekstremsport. Meget lang. 94 (1772 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 5/8/2016: Light yellow. After a brief burst of Raveneau hazelnut and beeswax, this was all very young, vigorous Chablis-lemon fruit, herbs, and ocean spray. Medium to lighter body, taut and nervy. One gets the sense that this is still very much on the upswing. (2246 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 1/6/2016 & rated 90 points: Sulphur, lemon, cake and minerals on the nose. Palate had chalky fruit, wet stone, lime and salinity. I quite enjoyed it. 90+ (2407 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 8/11/2015: Light yellow, not perfect clarity. Very Chablis nose of brine and iodine more than fruit. Light to medium weight, full of limestone, a tad of creaminess, but much leaner than the typical Raveneau feel. Tart, underripe lemon fruit, very strong acidity and minerality. Unlike the last bottle 3 years ago, very young, strict, and unevolved. This did not change much over 2 hours. Excellent "vrai Chablis". (2666 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 7/9/2015 & rated 91 points: Rich texture, good balance. Really nice, and worth £35, but not more! (2112 views) | | | Tasted by KVM on 5/6/2015: terrific nose of fruit and savouury. On palate it is surprisingly dilute. Curious. (2002 views) | | | Tasted by sooper65 on 8/30/2014 & rated 92 points: as good as it gets from Rav. Great intensity and purity. Texture too. And in peak drinking form - needs no more time in the cellar [thank heavens]. Balanced and harmonious. (1989 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 4/20/2014 & rated 93 points: White gold color. Nose of schist, flint, grapefruit, white lily, acacia. A wondrous mélange of flint and mouthwatering layers of apple core, grapefruit, white peach, and creaminess on the palate. Spiny acidity providing amazing freshness, balanced by plenty of structure. Long, ringing finish of mineral and almost salty white fruit. Perfect with steamed mussels and a dynamite showing. (1997 views) | | | Tasted by ginfizz on 3/22/2014 & rated 92 points: Still showing a lot of oak on the nose but the citrus fruits are coming with aeration. Good finish, complex with citrus, quince, minerals, and fantastic balance. Really a class act. (1829 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
