Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1990

Lovely bottle sweetness, fruit shows a little fat, as acidity has mostly faded, rich and deep flavors, medium-long, lingering finish, mature but still a lovely bottle tonight!! — 24 days ago

Chablis Chardonnay 2020

Try as I might to not overstate the brilliance of this wine, over pork cordon bleu and noodles in the town of Chablis on a cold grey day, this wine was the centrepiece in an unforgettable lunch. My first Raveneau and now I get what all the fuss is about. Muted nose with some flinty smoke, and mineral notes. The palate is complex and multi-layered for a mere Chablis: green apple, yeast, buttered popcorn. The 2nd half then unfurls and saline, citrus, and a hint of stone fruit linger long on the palate. The structure perfectly balances the fruit. Nothing out of place. High acid, med+ complexity, high quality. — 7 days ago

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2020

A fantastic nose. Intense lemon, cool slate, an oiliness. Surprisingly oaky on the palate. Lovely balance and freshness but a few more years to let that oak settle and this should be amazing — 5 days ago

Don’t they supposedly only use old barrels yet it often tastes oaky young?

It’s the first time I’ve encountered oak this noticeable on Raveneau

Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2009

Needs some time. Not as mineral as Valmur. Solid but not real exciting. — 15 days ago
