🏰Domaine Francois Raveneau is a legendary Chablis producer, renowned for crafting 【truly grand cru magic】 with exceptional purity, minerality, and age-worthiness, and their Valmur Grand Cru is a prime example of their uncompromising quality. The 2007 vintage in Chablis produced wines with terrific pungency and cut, superb textural refinement, combining refreshment, invigorating piquancy, and vivid chalkiness with subtle creaminess. Raveneau's 2007 Valmur was noted as a knockout, still excellent years later. 🏰 Alluring aromas of iris, basswood, mint, lemon, and a pungent hint of white pepper, alongside notes of lime leaf, stone, and acacia flower. The palate offers outstanding purity, clarity, and energy, with terrific lift to the penetrating lemon and mineral flavors. It is rich but wonderfully elegant, with a magical rising finish and great lightness of touch. Further notes include white fruit, oyster shell, jasmine, juicy citrus, green apple, and flint. 🍴 An exquisite choice for pairing with oysters, grilled sole, sashimi, fresh goat cheese, or roasted chicken. 🥂 An exquisite choice for a sophisticated seafood dinner, a special celebration, or a tasting focused on world-class Chardonnay. This wine is in its peak drinking window and will continue to evolve. Serve well-chilled, around 10-12°C (50-54°F). Decanting is not typically needed for Chablis, but a brief aeration in the glass can enhance its aromatic complexity.
