Chablis, Burgundy, France
Light gold. Very poised with some secondary notes of corn, jasmine, a whiff of honey. Some lime and cool stone with salinity. Very rounded and delicious. Calm and detailed. Excellent

Medium gold, nice weight in the glass. Sweet nose. Notes of citrus, white flowers, sweet apricot, some stone. Lots of acidity in the mouth. This was flamboyant and the most attractive of the 3 Raveneau's tonight.

May 21st, 2023Taken to Canoe House at the Mauna Lani on the Big Island. Awesome aged Raveneau nose. Rich and heavy in the mouth. Notes of citrus, apricot, sea shells, white clay and tan spice. In the zone. Shared a glass with our server/somm. When the bill came, “we have a strict corkage policy but it’s waived when it’s Raveneau “. Ha!

Epic but even at 10 years this is way too young. Only starting to strut its stuff. Needs another 5-10 easily.

Nov 18th, 2022Oy vey. This is in great shape. Limpid lemon oil, oyster shells. Soft lime. Very supple and open. Secondary notes but still freshness and lovely acidity. This is pretty spectacular. More Clos-like than Valmur.

Apr 8th, 2021Whew! With a sad 04 MdT the other day I had to check in on another vineyard to see if the issue wasn’t something more broad that year. From the same mixed case this has heavy weight and is barely medium gold, with more of a canary color in the glass. Great fruit forward nose. Notes of lemon, white acacia flowers, wet stones, honeysuckle, tan spice, a hint of grapefruit and some cut citrus fruit. Great weight. Some pucker on the finish. This is in a good spot but has more years of enjoyment in front of it.

Oct 5th, 2019Generous and delicious, quite broad. Another great bottle which felt young for its age.

Jun 6th, 2019From a great looking bottle with a high fill. Light to medium gold color, nice weight. Notes of white flowers, clove and tan spice, some honey and white clay. Impactful first sip. Rich chewy and still young. Gave it 5 hours of air and still seemed mostly primary. Has lots of upside and is not near it’s apex yet.
