FEATURES
🏰 Domaine François Raveneau holds a 【legendary status as arguably the finest producer in Chablis】, a reputation built on unwavering traditionalism and the stewardship of some of the region's most prized Kimmeridgian limestone slopes. The 2011 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is a great wine in the making, offering a classically reserved yet bottomless bouquet of green apple, grapefruit, lemon, kaleidoscopic chalky minerality, and spring flowers. On the palate, it's deep, full-bodied, pure, and reserved, with stunning focus and grip, leading to a very long, racy, and youthful finish. Expect notes of white flower, pear, peach, and plenty of classic Chablis character, with intensely mineral-driven flavors and copious dry extract buffering a firm acid spine. This fine effort is marked by transparency to marine mineral nuances, cut, energy, and sheer persistence.
🍴 This Chablis Grand Cru pairs beautifully with pork, shellfish, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild and soft cheeses. Its vibrant acidity and mineral core also make it an excellent match for oysters, grilled prawns, or chicken in a creamy sauce.
🥂 A stunningly good wine that should reward up to a decade of cellar time, offering excellent class and freshness. It's worth following through at least 2025, making it perfect for a significant anniversary or a sophisticated dinner party.
