Simply superb. Wet stones, sea shells, lemon, white fruit. The wine is fresh and refined, great tension with superb pure fruit and precise flavors and a long finish, so classy and elegant. We had 4 great 2014 whites in the last few days and this is the best one (2-Germain Poruzots, 3- Raveneau Foret, 4- Ramonet Vergers)
Tout simplement superbe. Nez de roche mouillée, coquillages, citron, fruits blancs. Une bouche très vive d’une classe indéniable, frais, fin, pur, élégant et saveurs précises. Très bel équilibre et belle longueur pour un Villages. Le meilleur des 4 très bons blancs 2014 bus depuis 4 jours. 93-94 — 6 years ago
The 2017 Chablis La Foret 1er Cru is a super-expressive, weightless wine that captures the essence of what makes Chablis so special, and that is the ability to deliver incredible flavor intensity without excess weight. The 2017 needs a bit of time in bottle to come together, as the oak is not fully assimilated just yet. Even so, the 2017 is incredibly vivid and precise. What a wine!

Crisp Sancerre after dinner at The Street bar in The Newbury hotel (formerly the Taj, before that, The Ritz), Boston — 10 months ago
With Ben, Meghan and Giuseppe on a cool summer night in which I broke my own wine glass AND Ben's by a nice fire on the patio.
"I really like this!" -Me
"Nutty overtones with deep plum flavor. Oh that's pretty good! That's yummy." - Giuseppe
"Kind of astringent. I also get nutty. (G interjects he was joking about that and doesn't get nutty at all. He gets almost honey and thinks it would make a great sangria) Honeyed on the front, astringent on the end." -Meghan
"Very tanniny and dry." - Ben
"My take is that Meghan and Ben are wrong and I agree, it does taste good." -Giuseppe
"Would buy again" - Meghan — 6 years ago

Raveneau study! Nose was floral and saline, with intense lemon and pear notes, touched gently by wood. Crystalline, focused, and more concentrated than the 13' Foret on the palate, Raveneau's MdT is always so solid in their line-up. Long and mineral finish. Still hiding some depth as it got better with air, so will definitely benefit with more cellaring. — 7 years ago

Huge, rich leesy character, classic flintyness with balanced and pronounced fruit. Very different from the Foret. — 7 years ago
J'ai gouté ce vin au domaine, aprės y être arrivé par hasard au gré d'une randonnée en foret, le long du GR5.
Ce vin rouge est subtil, léger et harmonieux en bouche. Le pinot noir est excellent. — 11 years ago
