Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay

Very intense and pure. Creamy with lime and lemon and great balance. Young but fantastic.

A beautiful beast opened before its time. So much going on but minimum 3+ years to sort out. Will merit higher rating almost certainly.

Medium gold, heavy like oil in the glass. Complex nose with notes of citrus, stones, marzipan and a little honey. A hint of oxidation is evident, but it's part of the complexity this bottle offers tonight. In the mouth this has massive power, yet is silky and coats the palate.

Not picture bottle. Cool and poised. Hints of lime and lemon with wet stone and soft orchard fruit. Very long and delicious and with time in glass more salinity and oyster shells comes through. Amazing stuff with life ahead.

Quite ripe for Rav. Peach, melon honey, chalk. A touch more exotic than the others. Atypical but very good. Balanced

Dense and still quite packed. Rockpool, floral notes, green apple. Really classy but a bit tight at first. Over an hour in the glass this unfurls and it’s pretty stunning. Really precise stone fruit, a contained lushness with wet stone notes and minerality. Years ahead but this is great

Taken to Hawksmoor in NYC for our uncle’s 75th. Decanted in hotel for 7 hrs before dinner. Light to medium gold color, heavy in the glass. At first the nose is muted with light citrus and white flower notes. Late in the evening after 10 hrs of air this finally blossomed into the Raveneau they is known and loved. Notes of citrus fruit, ocean breeze, kiwi, white stone, white clay and tan spice. Acidity finally came on too. Great wine but still too young. Needs 5-10 years of additional age to be in the ”go” zone. 94++

I was the only one at the table that found this to be ready to drink. Tremendous freshness on the nose and palate. It was showing wonderful citrus notes & minerals along with some hints of tropical fruit ( sign of the vintage imo).
A tremendous match with scallop coquilles St.-Jacques

Quite tightly wound still. Lifted lemon, slate and white flowers. A gorgeous nose- and really precise definition. A little tight in the end palate. In a few years this will be crazy good.

Tasted blind. Light gold color, youthful and heavy in the glass. Notes of citrus, white clay, sea shells, wet river stone, kiwi and some honey. High pitched. Massive fruit and structure. This powered along all night and never slowed down. Easy to guess as the 90 Raveneau Clos as we've had this many times. A debate ensued about what is a perfect white burgundy and where this sits... it would be really hard to get better than this, IMO. Spectacular.
