Deep colour. Rich and honeyed, white flowers and lightly oxidative zest. Zesty citrus, honeysuckle, talc, but with a leaning towards honey richness reflecting its age. Lovely acidity, quite textured, smooth. Persistent flavours. Has moved beyond its youth but still drinking beautifully.

Tropical fruit notes dominate (almost Riesling like), with a hint of botrytis. Palate was full of again tropical fruit and mineral notes, and a waxiness that coats your mouth. Really enjoyed the wine.

Great nose accentuated by a hint of botrytis. The palate was insanely waxy and coated your mouth for minutes. Picked up acid with air, but wishing there was more acid on this bottle. Not as fresh as the '95 Butteaux served next to it.

(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre) Light lemon yellow color; reduction, pineapple upside down cake, kumquat nose; kumquat, reduction, tart apple palate with a little oxidation, disappointing; medium-plus finish (since I had a lovely bottle of this a month ago, I know this was just an unfortunate, oxidized one)
(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre) Light golden yellow color; nice, expressive, lemon, white flower, grapefruit nose; medium bodied, complex, poised, tart lemon, tart apple, floral palate with medium-plus acidity, that ideally still needs another two-plus years; medium-plus finish

off bottle. Botrytized? which seems like it would be strange for chablis.

Rich and exotic. Too much botrytis in evidence however and too little flintiness
