Blanchot Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990

Wow, this bottle showing amazingly open for business immediately (though I lost the battle to extract the cork fully!!). I’ve always thought that of the 3 Raveneau Grand Crus, Blanchot has consistently shown the most ripe tropical fruit undertones (of course measured by Chablis standards), whereas Clos is more intensely mineral and Valmur somewhere in between, and this bottle fits that pattern. From a little riper Chablis vintage (13.5% vs. more usual 12.5-13% ABV), this bottle is richly fruited, with plenty of acidity and some subtle minerality,, with a very, very long, lingering finish, absolutely a great Raveneau Blanchot!! — a day ago

9.6

In a good spot with room to improve. Beautiful texture, mousse, micro beaded.

Notes of Honeycomb and butterscotch. Both yellow & white peaches, nectarines, tropical melons, pineapple, understated lemon, cream, baguette, beautiful fine chalky powder, saline notes, sea spray, yellow & spring flowers, excellent soft acidity and a well made elegant, smartly polished finish that lasts nearly two-minutes.

Another 15-20 years here of quality sipping.

Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay

Decanted for 30 minutes. Whilst elegant the bright yellow wine lacked complexity. But acceptable — a month ago
