Domaine François Raveneau

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010

Stoney lemon curd, hint of brown butter, minerals for days. Young, deep and pedigreed like a young Roosevelt at Harvard. Slightest hint of oyster shell, as if I ate a few Hog Islands before tasting. Opulent in the middle, intensely dry and vervey in the finish. Infanticide, but I'm ok with that! — 10 years ago

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990

From the Tour dArgent wine list. FnA. This is amazing Chablis. Light to med gold. Closed at first. Just wait... There it is. Kermidgean white soil and white rock stone. Shell bits. Over 3 hrs this built into that honeyed mineral stone pit fruit thing that is aged Raveneau. It's what got me interested in Chablis. It's why that disease continues. — 11 years ago
