Francois Raveneau, Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru, 2015
🏰 The 2015 vintage in Chablis was marked by a challenging growing season, including a severe hailstorm in early September that affected some vineyards. However, diligent growers like Raveneau rushed to harvest before rot could set in, ensuring the quality of the fruit. Domaine François Raveneau's Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru 2015 is a wine of unparalleled structural definition and piercing Kimmeridgian limestone acidity. It typically presents a pale, bright yellow colour. The nose is often tighter and greener than other wines, with aromas of lime, mint, and talc. On the palate, it is broad, austere, and energetic, with a surprisingly mouth-coating texture and a hint of grapefruit zest bitterness. The finish is brisk and energetic, leaving an impression of weightlessness. Other notes describe a cool, pure, and reserved nose of citrus, white flower, iodine, and sea breeze-scented aromas with mineral reduction. 【A legendary and ultra-collectable Grand Cru Chablis from a producer renowned for traditional, artisanal viticulture and avoidance of new oak.】
🍴 This exquisite Chablis Grand Cru is a superb match for fresh seafood, especially oysters, grilled fish, and goat cheese. Its vibrant acidity and minerality also make it an excellent pairing for delicate white meats or light salads.
🥂 This highly sought-after Grand Cru Chablis is a wine with superb potential, requiring serious cellaring to fully express itself. It will amply reward at least a decade, and perhaps even more, of bottle age, making it an ideal choice for collectors and those seeking a profound white wine experience.
