The most sublime and the most celebrated estate of Chablis, the wines of Domaine Raveneau are a rare find—exceptional because the vineyard holdings are almost entirely made of grand cru and premier cru fruit, painfully finite as so few are produced, outstanding because of their tremendous quality and consistency, and unusual given the modesty of the vignerons who create these world-class wines. 

An overtly floral nose speaks of elegant and admirably pure aromas of quinine, white-fleshed fruit and a plethora of classic Chablis elements and in particular, iodine. There is excellent volume to the concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors that flash evident minerality on the markedly dry, youthfully austere and highly complex finale. This is quite tightly wrapped and as is usually the case, it should prove to be long-lived. Excellent. Date: Aug 2023; Drink: 2031+; Issue: 92; Rating 93 Points; Allen Meadows; Burghound

A strong effort in this challenging year, Raveneau's 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux reveals aromas of orange zest, pear, honeycomb and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny palate that's pure and racy, with a sweet core of fruit and a nicely defined finish.
