Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

Delicate and pretty. Precise with soft edges. Pear and light floral notes. Very lucid and subtle. Lean in, it’s delicious.

Bright fruit. Almost tropical with hints of mango and bright bold flavors. Minerality and purity with great poise. Delicious

A typical tale of Raveneau. Best after 3 hours in the decanter. I really do love Raveneau’s 13’s. It’s an early drinking vintage (by Raveneau standards) while you wait for the surrounding ones. There’s immense richness and depth of waxy yellow fruit and stony minerals on the palate with créme fraîche, spices and a touch of botrytis influenced saffron in its layered aromatics. Superb cut and racy lemony acids provide a seamless balance to its power and richness. No surprise, beautiful wine.

Very pretty. Initially some tropical notes. Settled into gorgeous lifted lemon fruit, subtle salinity and cool stone. Really poised and subtle- very Raveneau. Long and pretty.

Slightly tropical. Lychee, lime, limestone. Very pure and intense and light. Really delicious.

Chablis cannot get much better than this.
