Chablis Grand Cru les Clos - Francois Raveneau 2007
The domain
Born in 1948 from the marriage of two great Chablis families (the Raveneau and the Dauvissat), the Raveneau estate is the benchmark for Chablis. Indeed, and for several decades now, this estate has been the greatest expression of what a Chablis wine can give.
The estate, quite compact, covers 7.5 ha, notably in Butteaux, Chapelot and Montée de Tonnerre for the Premiers Crus, Valmur, les Clos and Blanchot for the Grands Crus.
All wine spends at least one year in barrel. The resulting wines are lively, ample and complex.

Tasting: "Les Clos" is an extremely distinguished Chablis, with a complex nose centered on aromas of white fruits, toast and delicious notes of honey. The substance is rich but does not lack freshness, the palate delivers a beautiful minerality and saline notes. A truly superb grand cru. |
