  Robe encore bien claire malgré ses 28 ans.Arômes persistants de coquilles d'huître entrecoupés de notes d'agrumes (citron).Minéralité bien présente.La bouche est phénoménale: une structure imposante,pas le moindre creux,acidité présente mais pas dérangeante,longueur impressionnante.Pas pour les amateurs de vins légers.....Seul reproche:léger manque de complexité.Cette cuvée tiendra encore 20 ans sans le moindre problème.J'attendais quelques de notes de champignon,marqueur de l'appellation en vin vieux,ce n'était pas vraiment le cas.

  Classic Chablis with pure mineral flavors. Oyster shells and saline with no residual fruit or sweetness

  For my taste, the 95 MDT is still too young. It has all the Raveneau character with strong underlying mineral-driven palate, accompanied by citrus and stone fruit. It develops more richness in the glass, but still more Chablis than aged Raveneau in the evolution. The good thing is that it is an ex-chateau release from few years ago, which explains the youthfulness of the wine. Needs a lot more time to be stunned by it. Lots of potential but tonight is only 92 for me.

  The sexiest Raveneau, I ever had! Decanted for two hours with great success.

  Nose was clean with lemon zest, wet rocks, and ocean breeze. After a half hour or so, the nose became more bruised apple with lots of citrus on the palate with well integrated acidity. Great Mtd that could age a few more years, but in an excellent place right now.
