  • 92 Butteaux v 92 Montee du Tonnerre

    Unfortunately the Butteaux was corked and was replaced by a 1992 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne.

    The MdT was thankfully in proper shape. Barely mid yellow color with a nose showing citrus and tropical fruit notes with hints of chalk. The palate showed similarly, the fruit here is yellower and sweeter and lacks the crispness and acidity than I normally associate with Raveneau having more in common with the Mersaults in the next flight. 1992 was not a great Raveneau year IMO

  • Summer 2016. From a magnum. I was looking forward to trying this as I love Raveneau 92s, and MdT is my favourite of his 1ers. The wine was a perfect example of a top Chablis entering it's tertiary stage. There was still beautiful acidity and minerality. The abundance of lemons and limes offered a hint of the vintage. After a few minutes, the wine calmed down and revealed a drier, earthier side. The next day, there was still an inch or so in the decanter, which had held up well and was still delightfully honeyed and mushroomey.

  • From a bottle purchased on release and stored in a cold, dark cellar. The wax capsule was completely intact and the fill level was to the eyebrows. Pale gold color, distinctive demure Raveneau perfume of lees and lemon peel. No trace of oxidation on the nose or palate. Tasted of butterscotch and lemon curd, with a finish that lasted for 45 minutes. The wine did not fade over the course of 3 hours, but it did disappear. An astonishing premier cru Chablis, still blooming at the age of 22.
