My favorite Raveneau vintage and 2004 is absolutely pristine showing everything you could want from the legend—Captivating aromatics, a powerful, voluminous and waxy textured palate that comes with age, racy lemony acids and crystalline minerality. Not only is this brilliant vintage chiseled and laser focused but there is tremendous richness, weight and density. Finish just stays with you. The best showing I’ve had from the Forêt vineyard.

Powerful and intense with citrus, stone and a hint of tropical notes (banana, lychee). Broad in the mid palate. Young

Jun 28th, 2024Tasty. Quite fleshy for Raveneau. Rounded out but still light and fresh in the company of 2013’s. Cool citrus and stone. Rounded slightly sweet edges. Good.

Medium gold color, looking a bit darker than it should at this age. POX notes on the nose including some light butterscotch and ripe oaky chardonnay. Lacking acidity with subtle fruit. Has no Chablis-like characteristics. Had a 1990 Raveneau recently that was more fresh than this. OK to drink, but doesn't have the attributes you're looking for with Chez Raveneau.

Sep 26th, 2022Cool and restrained. Hints of lemon, limestone, slate. Delicate and focused on the midpalate.
