Feel like I skip over this entry level Fevre Chablis but this is up in the cut. — a month ago
Everybody loves Sebastien Dampt.
You just can’t own enough of his wines.
Nose: a beautiful perfume. Ocean air. Lemon flower.
Palate: so clean. Mountain stream infused with elegant lemon. Sweet lemon
One of the more restrained Lechets. Classic. Very well made.

So fresh under Diam. Most guessed that it was no more than 3 years old in our blind. Not the best Rav in my opinion. Obviously rich and ripe due to the vintage. I felt it could have used more relief. Thankfully it went remarkably well with some Comte. — 19 days ago
2020 vintage drunk September 2024. Huge mouth feel, a big Chablis. $60  — 24 days ago
Lemon and flinty aromas and flavors, great acidity, great complexity and depth, even at 35 years old, as I always say, Raveneau is singular, super long, lingering finish, great Chablis 1er Cru!!!
I am down to my last 18 bottles of 1988-1990 Raveneau, but these are incredible wines bought on release at criminally inexpensive prices (compared to today), but Francois made INCREDIBLE Chablis!!! — 14 days ago
Pulled from the wine fridge and double-decanted about 90 minutes prior to service; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2005 Bougros pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of marmalade, dried apricot, cashews, chalky minerals, leesy, and slightly sherried. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and super chalky.
This improved dramatically as it came up to temperature and had some real time to stretch its legs. It showed all the hallmarks of well aged GC Chablis from a solar year: powerful, dried fruit; the chalk; the acid; its creamy, leesy texture. The sherried, oxidative notes seemed to dissipate over time, freshening up a bit after being cooped up for so long. Bravo! Drink now and before 2030. Thanks Andy! — a month ago

Again I had this at a friends tasting last Sunday afternoon. No notes taken but I recall more honeyed and mature than Chablis oyster shell characteristics. I should add that Penfolds 1990 707 in the image to the right was exceptional. Drinking at its peak from a good vintage with still some years to go. 97 points for the 707. — 10 days ago
