(Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru "Butteaux") This was pretty tight but really on at the same time. Lots of lemon and mineral on the nose. Pretty thick on the palate with nice richness and stoniness. Laserlike purity with tons of candied lemons and a slight honeyed element. But razorlike acidity focused it all into a tight little core. Improved throughout the night but has a ways to go. Hands off.
