First of my 13 Butteaux to be opened. This is the most open of any “young” Raveneau I’ve experienced. I usually wait about 10 years to start opening them and I’m glad I popped this one because I’d say it’s ready for business. The sulfur has been rendered and I’d say this wine is mature and maybe not getting better. If you have one bottle, I’d say drink up. Still a tremendous drink in a tough vintage from the master.

Maybe the best Sauvignon blanc I’ve ever had and still fresh as a daisy. Wasn’t sure what to expect and it far exceeded any expectations. Didier was a master and this wine is proof.
