Domaine François Raveneau
Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1988
Sounds ok to me!!!
Wow! So cool. I have ZERO experience with Raveneau and ZERO Raveneaus in my cellar. ☹️ so your advice is purely of a hypothetical nature for me. (I’ve been lucky enough to have a few Dauvissats, however.) Did you use a Durand corkscrew? I use that with any 20 year or older bottle. Essential.
@Tom Casagrande, I did not, but the cork broke into so many pieces that I don’t think what cork puller I used mattered (shrug)!

Les Preuses Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2019
Oh so young, but oh so good. Into the decanter it went. As one would expect tight during the first 30 minutes but then it started to strut its stuff. Powerful citrus aromas. On the first taste after decanting citrus & florals commandeered my tastebuds. At this young stage the finish is filled with orchard fruit vs chalk or wet stone. — a month ago
Awesome pull!!

Cork broke in half (actually 6-7 pieces), initially some “old cork” flavors show through, yet after 5 minutes in the glass those dissipate and we’re left with a lovely aged Raveneau with mature fruit, some lemon and mineral notes as well, very nice complexity and length, I’ve always been very lucky aging my Raveneau, this is clearly a success (shaky cork notwithstanding)! — 3 days ago
