Tasting Notes
Wine Advocate 95-97
"The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Clos is superb, offering up an as yet unformed bouquet of citrus oil and preserved citrus, complemented by hints of beeswax and oystershell. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with a deep, layered mid-palate, superb tension and a long, stony finish. It’s as powerful and intense as Valmur but less blocky and dense, and in the fullness of time, it should prove to be the greatest of Raveneau’s excellent 2017s."

Evident but not intrusive oak influence frames overtly floral-inflected aromas of various spice and citrus elements that add considerable breadth to the seashore, iodine and mineral reduction scents. As with the Valmur, there is excellent volume and power to the concentrated and quite serious flavors that brim with minerality on the youthfully austere finish that is much more refined. This too should be an especially long-lived 2017.
