Domaine François Raveneau
Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
11’ Raveneau always on the savory side but its herbal qualities made for a great match with the food at Jua, Korean tasting menu.

Aug 1st, 2020A glorious wine. 2011 Raveneau are great. Light, bright, transparent, lucid. An intense rock pool nose with slate, lime, honeysuckle. A touch of grapefruit. Quite light on the palate but very defined and delicious. Not super long on the finish but refreshing and complex. Perfect with the lobster salad. A study in the power of complexity over power and focus over richness.

May 26th, 2019Quite restrained on the nose. Oily limey chalky. A very poised and balanced mid palate- quite savory with good minerality.
