BACKGROUND
Domaine François Raveneau is arguably the most prestigious and sought-after producer in Chablis. Founded in 1948, the domaine is renowned for its traditional winemaking, including hand-harvesting and aging in old oak barrels (feuillettes), which is rare in Chablis. The 'Vaillons' Premier Cru is known for its sunny exposure, yielding a Chardonnay that is typically more open and floral in its youth compared to other Raveneau crus. It offers a brilliant balance of ripe orchard fruits, vibrant acidity, and the classic Kimmeridgian chalky minerality, with exceptional aging potential.
