Just an amazing expression of Terroir, totally naked and brilliantly balanced, including dusty tannins and dito minerality, Syrah spice and a meat stock infused finish. Note to Self - Clos Saron rules! — 11 years ago

Pre-Release.
Deep and dark ruby red. Lovely and thick nose with dark cocoa, lots of bright red cherries, cinnamon and more baking spices. Heavy tannins (8/10) and drying. Lots of red berries, especially cherries on the palate. Some twigs and earthiness too. Long and lingering finish that needs some time. Little bit of heat in the finish. Drink till 2030.

Textbook old school Napa Cab. What once was and should more often be again. Great secondary characteristics, yet still plenty of primary fruit. Possibly at peak but with life left ahead. — 10 years ago

Wow. Pretty easily the best white wine that I've had (I've not had many).
Great nose. Some nice depth there, some kind of earthiness that I've never experienced w a white. Great, a little poopy, in a good way. Nice popping fruit, great acid.
Too hot, alcohol a bit high. Bit it a prob all a package deal. The fruit maybe wouldn't be as nice otherwise.
Medium bodied, nice & creamy, but not too heavy. The acidity keeps it fresh & light, I think.
Fun. I could drink this.

Domaine François Raveneau

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2001

Boyz Raveneau tasting. Light straw color. Honeyed nose with light fruit. Soil and stone notes in the mouth to go with lovely Chablis fruit Tight at first but really opened up nicely. — 10 years ago
