Outshone by the pedigree and heft of Clos, this more mineral Blanchot was singing regardless. Lemon, ginger, florals, bright with wood integrated wonderfully.

Dec 7th, 2017More round than some of its brethren, but still has that backdrop of salinity that makes Raveneau so special for me.

Jun 25th, 2016Oh boy. This is an amazing wine. Full of verve, life and richness. Needed 30 minutes decanted to just start to show itself.

Mar 15th, 2016First time having Raveneau. Surprisingly restrained on the nose, but this has excellent balance and depth on the palate. Seemingly “simple” at first, this reveals layers of flavor with perfectly balanced acid and a very very long finish.

Oct 14th, 2018Tres beau vin mais n’a pas le petit quelque chose du grand vin comme sur d’autres millésimes. Le vin est dense, charmeur certe mais il manque un peu de fraicheur et de tension qu’on retrouve dans les plus grands millésimes. Accompagne très bien les plats de champignons, ecrevisses et omble de l’arctique. Belle finale !
