2008 Domaine Francois Raveneau, Chablis Premier Cru, Butteaux 1x750ml

Robert Parker 91

"Raveneau’s 2008 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux opens in the glass with delicate notes of apple, white peach, spring blossom and pastry cream, its aromatic profile making me wonder if it was this cuvee’s turn to season the Domaine’s new oak barrels this year. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, with good cut and moderate concentration, simultaneously a touch reserved and quite structurally open-knit." [William Kelley, 31/01/2018]

Anticipated maturity: 2018-2025

Vinous 92-93

Bright greenish-yellow. Laid-back but pure aromas of lemon, ginger and wild herbs. Pure, fine-grained and elegant, with reticent, youthfully taut flavors of lemon and stone. Showed more texture with a bit of aeration and finishes very long and suave. [Stephen Tanzer, 07/01/2010]
