Sesame, crushed stone, chiseled yellow fruit, reductive. Quite classic. After twelve hours of air it remains unchanged. These 2014 giants remain somewhat immortal... see you in thirty years, hopefully. 95++

Sunday Lunch with Raveneau Chablis and Chave Hermitage (Piccino Restaurant, San Francisco): Pale yellow. Herbs and bright citrus. Medium weight, no wood imprint. Discretely ripe orchard fruit and citrus on the entry, wonderful texture. Elegant, polite, poised, and long. It unfolds slowly and finishes with great soil and stoniness. Still a baby. The least powerful of the 4 vintages of Clos, but an absolute beauty that I would bet on over the long run for its finesse and sense of completeness.

Decanted and followed for 2 hours or so. Classic Raveneau in terms of nose/flavor profile, but has grand cru presence. Tight at first, but as it warmed up and got more air this really blossomed. A special wine. Glad I was able to try this, and I’d love to try again in 10-15 years.

Saturated, energetic, vibrant, pure and so much power. Great wine.
