Goose Bay

Spencer Hill Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Pale lemon in color.

Fruity nose of lemons, green apples, grapefruits, spices and minerals.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, green apples and grapefruits.

This is a very tasty Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Not very complex, but easy drinking even by itself.

Doesn't show like a typical New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but very tasty.

A great wine to drink by the pool. Crisp, refreshing and tangy. Fruit forward and rich.

I had it all by itself. Kosher and vegan.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$20.

Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1996

Spectacular nose. Honeysuckle, soft, expansive, honeyed, broad white-flower fruit. Real depth and character to the nose. Gentle roses? On the palate a gorgeously complex and expansive wine with saline notes, some rock pool and very lush citrus stuff. This is just fantastic right now. So complete, integrated and delicious. Mature but still lots of life and vibrancy. A great bottle. Apparently this was Bernard Raveneau’s desert island wine. You can really see why. — 8 years ago

So good, especially loved the nose. Exactly like smelling a freshly-opened inflatable pool float. Petrol City.

Domaine François Raveneau

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1997

Hard to express how good this was. Somehow this bottle managed to retain all of what was likely great about it on release (acid balance, snappy minerality) and just ADD complexity and length. Stunning. Very long finish which tempered mushrooms and choose your own umami with a painful tidal pool and steely finish. The Eddy w/ C&C — 9 years ago

Trarbacher Huhnerberg Spätlese Trocken Mosel Riesling

Intoxicating nose, so spicy and animal. Savage tropical fruits on the nose, incredible, like jackfruit or even durian. After that blows off there’s that swimming pool aroma and lots more fruit, mangoes and citrus zest. Such good acid, electric in the mouth. Long finish. Did not want to put this glass down, though, it was so wildly aromatic. — 6 years ago

Single Vineyard Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2015

Had a bottle of this 2 years ago after it scooped the pool at the Royal Brisbane Wine Show. I can’t see why it got the accolades - an excellent Pinot Noir no doubt but not Champion Red of the Show. Colour of mid crimson with dark cherry. Initially on opening some oaky varnishy notes with stalkiness. On palate good intensity where the savouriness presides over the fruit dry cherry flavours. Will cellar. — 7 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Blanchot Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2002

This is special. A gorgeous settled nose with real poise and precision. Some rock pool then light secondary notes and honeysuckle, hints of orange blossom and peach. On the palate, concentrated but very settled with a chalky minerality and a loong finish. Gorgeous stuff. — 8 years ago

2002 - this is a perfect example of why Raveneau is so special. Takes about 10 plus years for them to become this expansive on the palate but at the same time so precise and focused on the finish. Outstanding!
