FEATURES
The 2015 vintage in Chablis was characterized by lower acidity levels, with Domaine Raveneau suggesting these wines are best suited for mid-term aging. The harvest was completed swiftly, and notably, none of Raveneau's 2015 wines underwent chaptalization or acidification. Blanchot is one of the seven esteemed Chablis Grand Crus, recognized for its lighter style, high acidity, and prominent citrus fruit aromas, making it approachable and relatively quick to mature in its youth.
Tasting Notes: This white wine offers a firm, dense nose with a light toastiness. The palate delivers a taut attack, racy, and concentrated, with a lifted and assertive character supported by fine acidity, which imparts tension to the wine. It boasts excellent length and a discreet grandeur. Expect a very pure and refined mélange of lemon, pear, beeswax, chalky minerality, and delicate floral tones. The wine is deep, full-bodied, pure, and focused, with a lovely core, fine balance, and a very long, vibrant, and zesty finish. There's a mild, almost invisible wood influence, framing fresh white flower, wet stone, and sea breeze aromas. The flavors are rich, detailed, and medium-bodied, with excellent intensity and length on a citrus-suffused finish featuring a touch of lemon rind. Further notes include minerals, honey, stone, citrus, lemon, lime, apple, green apple, pear, butter, oak, and vanilla.
Food pairing suggestions: Chablis Grand Cru wines, like this Blanchot, are versatile and pair wonderfully with oysters, various fish dishes served with sauces, poultry, or veal accompanied by a white sauce.
Event suggestions: An exceptional wine for a connoisseur's dinner, a special anniversary celebration, or a sophisticated gathering where a complex and age-worthy white Burgundy is desired. Its inherent elegance and significant aging potential make it a highly prized selection. 【Elegant Grand Cru Expression】
