November 18, 2023 - In a good place of development. Totally fresh but with a nuanced bit of development and touch more weight. [No notes / from memory a week ago]

August 6, 2022 - A small gathering at Bryan's (Bryan's place): Golden color, significantly darker than the 10 Blanchot. Medium expressive nose displaying very ripe sweet yellow fruit, peach, baked apple, caramel, a hint of mint, honey, sweet spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, packed very ripe yellow fruit, dense, rich and deeply toned, medium acidity and mineral, and a medium long very ripe yellow fruit driven finish with caramel and sweet spices at the end. I suspect this may be a bit further advanced than a properly cellared bottle. Very rich and a bit cloying and tired.

May 27, 2022 - My second bottle and I can't really add to my note from last year. This is just sheer perfection.

May 21, 2022 - Our last bottle of this had been in 2016 and this bottle had been submerged in the notorious 2011 Flood leaving its traces in a blackened cork with mud caked under the capsule. Despite all of this the wine opened beautifully with a colour of crystalline straw and a nose of green apples, lemon, lime and pineapple.There are touches of hay, honey and boiled sweets. The palate was multi-dimensional and pure with clear acid cut and great mineral finish. There was plenty of depth and cut yet with the touches of honey and pine/lime splice there was a finesse and balance that was quite striking.
A couple of summer days in the cool muddy waters of the Brisbane River has done no harm to this bottle !

4/14/2010 (link) 90 points(François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur) Light canary yellow color; reduction (that largely blew off after 30 minutes in the glass), citrus, baked lemon nose; angular, tight, tart citrus palate with green notes, definitely in a typical dumb period that Grand and 1er Cru Chablis enters a year or two after the vintage and from which it will likely not wake for another three to four years; medium-plus finish
