🏰The 2013 Francois Raveneau Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru is an 【utterly captivating and expressive white Burgundy, lauded by critics with 92-94 points, showcasing gorgeous richness, pure intensity, and a complex bouquet of white peach, jasmine, and lemon oil】. This Chardonnay, from a steep east-facing slope with stony soils, offers a floral character on the nose, complemented by notes of wet stone, pear, sea breeze, and quinine. The palate is rich and explosive, with delicious yet serious medium-weight flavors, excellent punch and drive on a mineral-driven, balanced, and impressively persistent finish, with hints of ginger lending spiciness. 🍴 This majestic Chablis is a perfect match for most seafood preparations, including sushi, mussels, paella, baked fish, pan-fried scallops, grilled lobster, and oysters. It also pairs beautifully with white meats, veal in sauce, truffle-based dishes, creamy poultry, sautéed mushrooms, white truffle risotto, and full-flavored or fresh/creamy cheeses. Consider marinated chicken in preserved lemon for a delightful combination. 🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated seafood dinner, a special occasion, or for those who appreciate complex and age-worthy Chablis.
