Wine Summary Image

Raveneau is one of the most celebrated Chablis producers, the only other producer that comes close in stature is Dauvissat. Francois married a Dauvissat and together they have formed a domaine that raises Chablis to new heights. Francois’ philosophy was simple: produce the best quality Chablis that is possible without compromise. This ethos is carried on by his discrete sons, Jean-Marie and Bernard. The domaine is known for low yields of around 35 hl/ha which is very low in Chablis.

In the cellar, the focus is on purity and expression of terroir by long, slow aging in inert vessels such as old oak barrels. The elevage for a white wine that sees no new oak is very long – 18 months. This adds to the depth and roundness of the wine even in vintages with very high acidity. Even in its youth with flavours that can be closed, the wines have energy, depth and a completeness.

Expert Reviews

94 Pts - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

The 2011 Chablis Grand Cru Clos is showing very well, wafting from the glass with a delicate bouquet of ripe lemons, oatmeal, beeswax and chamomile, framed by a light touch of reduction. Full-bodied, satiny and muscular, it's vibrant but open-knit and expressive for a young Raveneau Clos, with fine depth at the core and a long, mineral finish.

Raveneau has managed to go against the vintage and craft Chablis of great concentration. Layers of flavour include white jasmine flowers to exotic spices and stones all delivered with finesse and elegance. This is one of Raveneau’s more forward Les Clos with the terroirs complexity and depth clearly exhibited even in its youth. Clearly a wine with good aging potential.
