The quintessential elegance and finesse of a Raveneau Clos in the context of a riper, richer vintage. Wonderful bouquet of flowers, a little more fat than usual, lemon curd, piercing minerality, smoky, hint of older wood, beautifully layered, slightly salty; very good length. incredibly charming. Only Clos, only Raveneau....
Vin à l'ancienne, very concentrated and structured, big-bones and broad shoulders, like an old-fashioned claret, red meat, dusty tannins, deep minerality, peppery, red berry fruit, after a while some flowery notes emerge; on the palate very structured, tannins have softened, velvety but not soft, layered, extracted and concentrated. Balance is impeccable, will live very long. Drink now - 2030.

Lovely delicate salmon colour; relatively fresh and minerally, smooth texture, flavours of almond and cherry, slightly yeasty, good length.
