2011. Blanc. No one drinks enough of this. That's because there are so few things to which its a good partner, but it would be an incredible cheese-and-charcuterie wine. Broad and oily, there's just enough acid to keep you coming back for more. Sun-baked yellow orchard fruits dominate, but there's more exotic fruits too (mango and dried pineapple) yellow flowers, tons of almond husk bitterness, green olives, bay leaf, oregano, tarragon, white cheddar. Oak is assertively present but not overwhelming. Place dominates over grapes here, as it's a mix of Clairette and Grenache Blanc and a hodge-podge of other things. — 11 years ago

2004 Raveneau Montée de Tonnère. After a half hr open, when you bring your nose to the glass, an amazing vinyl/green banana/mint/chalky limestone nose awaits that is so potent and alluring it evokes some deep-seated, Neanderthal sensory orgasm. It takes a bit of time for the puckering lemon acidity to poke out. Big, broad, and creamy...probably the greatest Chablis I've ever had. So very powerful but not clunky. Wow. The glass residuals are wildly saline and honey/creamy a bit. So, so good — 12 years ago
