Decanted for an hour or so. Nice color. Reasonable Raveneau nose with notes of citrus, wet stone, white clay and some honey. In the mouth this is a bit disjointed, lacking the acidity you want. But the nose holds its own. For a warm year this is decent but not near the desired Rav experience.

So good! Aromatically reminds me of French cheeses.

Warm year in Chablis, but this is still very tasty with some green apples and wet shells.

Light straw color. Floral nose with sweet apricot and white flower note. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Some acidity but this is very fruit forward today. Needs to shed its baby fat.

Great well for the vintage... more precise and minerality than we expected.
