Stone Pine

Domaine François Raveneau

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1996

Medium gold, heavy in the glass. Awesome aged Raveneau nose. Notes of citrus, kimmeridgian white stone and light colored dirt, some honey, some spice. Great mouth feel, with acidity that powered up over 4-5 hours. Awesome with some angel hair pasta and shrimp, looking out over the Kohala Coast. — 4 years ago

Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2000

Said in my Homer Simpson voice: “mmmm Kistler Stone Flat Chardonnay....” - cloudy hue / canary yellow diamond in color; apple seeds to the nose, alcohol, barely noticeable oak; smooth and almost caramel candy taste. — 5 years ago

They're all pretty special. Nakedness across the board. PN and Syrah may take longer to "appreciate", as they differ substantially from most other CA- wines of named varieties. Go for the cheaper Carignan to begin with! And do let me know what you think!

@gideonbeinstock will assist you directly from the winery; no problem. You wanna add some PN and Syrah to your first order as well! Just le them age for few years before popping one. Close Saron's wines ages magnificently! (Despite low SO2, etc)

Clos Ste. Hune Alsace Riesling 1975

At first taste- bright, crisp, rambunctious, high-toned citrus. After 20min- rounded and developed, concentrated stone fruits. Very dry, but also rich on the palate. Could go another 20yrs before the youthfulness begins to fade. — 8 years ago
