Of the 3 grand cru Chablis chez Raveneau, Valmur is my favorite. I find Blanchots less minerally, Valmur the most minerally, Clos just behind Valmur. The best ever for me, shockingly, is 1994 Valmur, then 1996. We had a stunning wine of the trip 2010 Valmur in Champagne at Les Crayeres.
So I was eager to drink 2002. Fabulous from the get go. Pop and pour, first w a pâté de campagne, then with roast duck and herb risotto at Opal in Santa Barbara. Waiter foolishly declined the proffered pour.
Just super citrus zest bejeweled with minerals and hints of menthol, super acidity, all balanced and long, depth and weight with no heaviness. Simply great Chablis. Loved it. — 2 years ago

Excellent Pinot Nero - con Marco and paired with salmon and herbs and potatoes, fontina della Val D’Aosta, tuma di Bossolasco and Terrine de Campagne. OUTSTANDING. Suggest to use a decanter. — 2 years ago

Acheté en dernier recours dans une succursale classique en campagne, a bien livré la marchandise pour son prix, un tempranillo/grenache qui se bonifiait au cours de la soirée qui était encore tres bien le lendemain apres avoir été vaccuviné! Un peu poivré, prime jeunesse, bleuets, belle structure. — 4 years ago
