  Complex and flashy showing its potential. Calcaire, oyster and honey on the nose. The palette was dominated by intense saline notes that masked the fruit. This wine was so savory… pure umami… the texture was the highlight for me. Spherical, broad and luscious. Sooo much pressure and power building behind the damn but years until it bursts. Gives you a glimpse at its greatness, but years from its prime. 93++

  Opened this today; my first ever Raveneau. Savoury, sea salt, oyster shell notes. Quite dense and stone fruits. Agree this is Grand Cru level. Give this 1-2 hr air if you open now. Enjoyed this! 95/96

  Classic Raveneau. Relatively open with notes of tell tale oysershell, stony fruit, citrus, very precise style. Long time to go

  France Trip: Paris, Champagne, Burgundy; 9/3/2023-9/17/2023 (Paris, Champagne, Burgundy): Pale gold color. Split bottle between the four of us at Bistrot des Grand Crus. Quite exquisite on the nose of mixed stone and minerals, Asian seaweed, chamomile, beeswax, preserved lemon, and shades of lilies. The palate is brilliant, somewhat reclusive at first then just keeps building; saline, slate, lemon with a touch of stone fruit. Wow, this is like the taste of the ocean, so much salinity, dense, tons of chalk, lemon, apple, and peach, lime zest, intense and powerful.

  Pure class from Raveneau. Still much too young, especially since it's a MDT, but this was still showing well. Typical Raveneau nose of oyster and sea shell, followed by a bit more acacia honey, peach and nectarine than what I'm used to. With air, more and more lemon curd, yellow apple, vanilla powder, nectar and mashed pear. A bit broader than I had expected from 17 but still incredibly well balanced and elegant.
