Hugely impressive as always. The fruit on the nose is darker but there is a wonderful savoury/spicy note which also carries through on the palate. Tannins are fine, almost imperceptible but grip and length are created by the dark sour cherry spice that dominates the mid palate and balances the beautiful pure fruit. Silky texture and concentration. Super long and very fine. — 24 days ago
Try as I might to not overstate the brilliance of this wine, over pork cordon bleu and noodles in the town of Chablis on a cold grey day, this wine was the centrepiece in an unforgettable lunch. My first Raveneau and now I get what all the fuss is about. Muted nose with some flinty smoke, and mineral notes. The palate is complex and multi-layered for a mere Chablis: green apple, yeast, buttered popcorn. The 2nd half then unfurls and saline, citrus, and a hint of stone fruit linger long on the palate. The structure perfectly balances the fruit. Nothing out of place. High acid, med+ complexity, high quality. — 5 days ago
Good p/q. Interesting wine - fresh, good acidity, some whole bunch. Complex@but in a simple way - all primary fruit and def for drinking now. — 13 days ago
Very quaffable but not very typical for a CR. Round, almost opulent fruit without the usual structure and elegance. Could be confused for a new world shiraz. All fruit and no pepper or savoury elements — a month ago

Shy nose. Lots of stone fruit - peach and pear - without enough acid to provide structure. Best cold. — 2 days ago
