Domaine François Raveneau
Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
I must have done something right in a previous life or something. Pure deliciousness at its peak, or maybe just a little past..nothing worth complaining about though.

Great fill, first 2/3 of the cork came out via Ah-So, last 1/3 via waiters’corkscrew (and no residue pieces left in bottle), lovely honeyed, buttery, saline, mineral and dried fruit aromas and flavors, spot on balancing acidity, not youthful but extremely fresh and lively on the palate, better than the 1986 Clos and 1989 Valmur opened 1-2 months ago, I remain extremely impressed by the 1989s, long, lingering finish, absolutely outstanding 1er Cru Chablis!!

Color is medium-dark golden, cork simply didn’t want to come out of the bottle, this smells like an old Raveneau, with sweet buttery fruit, still showing some minerality and good balancing acidity, medium-weight, riper vintage, solid finish, very good 1er Chablis!

Lovely buttery aromas up front (almost buttered popcorn), minerals, a little salinity as well, round and rich, long finish, terrific showing for this 1er Cru!!
