FEATURES
🏰Domaine François Raveneau's Chablis Les Butteaux 1er Cru 2022 is a 【highly sought-after, profound expression of Chablis, known for its intense minerality, complexity, and exceptional aging potential, crafted from Kimmeridgian clay and limestone soils】. Raveneau is a noted producer in Chablis, founded in 1948, with plots in prestigious 1er Cru sites. Vines are 30-50 years old, hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged extensively. The 2022 vintage is described as having a lovely bouquet with yellow plum, jasmine, gunflint, and a touch of smoke, with a very well-balanced palate and keen acidity. Critics like Decanter and Vinous have rated it highly (94 points).
🍴 This exceptional Chablis pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes including avocado, butter sauce, various cheeses (Brie, Camembert, Goat), crab, fish (halibut, salmon), lobster, scallops, shellfish, shrimp, pork, risotto, and turkey. It's also excellent with coley and Comté cheese.
🥂 A truly exceptional wine for a special occasion, a fine dining experience, or for cellaring to appreciate its long-term evolution and profound depth.
