Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1989

9.5

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!! — 12 days ago

@Doug Powers that is a home run and exactly what we hope for when we store a bottle

Doug Powers

@Ira Schwartz, yep, you’re 100% correct! I did a count this afternoon and I have less than 40 bottles of old Raveneau left, hopefully the majority of them will be as good as this one!!

Supple complex oily and delicious in the nose. In the glass this is getting more expensive: pear, limestone, white pepper. Restrained but super classy and complex. Amazing stuff! — 2 months ago

This could age longer. Deep purple, some tannins still there, plum/ cherry/ some leather. Surprised to see my brother drank the same bottle-vintage a week ago and I just randomly selected this. He was also the source of this acquisition! — 22 days ago

@Angelo Casagrande, the better Bandol rouges will age a long time (Tempier, etc.), though I know your brother cringes at the idea of holding them 20 years, for example. Of course, it’s all personal preference.

@Tom Casagrande I concur, it was incredible with the steak. Don’t worry @Angelo Casagrande Tom saved a bottle of yellowtail Shiraz for when you pay a visit 👍

Angelo Casagrande

Thanks Dan. I’ll bring up some White Zin, your fav, for you this weekend!
