🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH
【A Chablis 1er Cru of Grand Cru quality from the iconic Francois Raveneau, offering a profound expression of minerality and age-worthy complexity.】 The 2005 Burgundy vintage was considered a great year for aging, generous in both quantity and quality. Raveneau's 2005 Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre was noted to be drinking beautifully as it approached 13 years of age (in 2018), aging gracefully. It was initially austere but had an impressive finish. This wine presents a complex bouquet of lemon oil, mandarin, drawn butter, iodine, beeswax, and dried white flowers. It is rich, powerful, and uncompromisingly dry, with a tactile texture, wet-stone minerality, and a long, chalky finish.
