Domaine François Raveneau
Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
Awesome! Its shed some of the ripe and primary fruit, but still has a warm vintage generosity to it in the acidity. Captures Vaillons charming fruit and oyster shell core. Was expecting more honeyed richness but surprised by the nerve underneath the warmth of the year. Its fresh and gets going. Totally fucked with prosciutto wrapped asparagus, boiled taters and sauce Mornay, one of the top pairing of the year so far.

Firing on all cylinders with lemon curd, sea spray. Fruit on the ripe side given the vintage but the minerality and acidity manage to keep it in check.
