2017 Domaine Francois Raveneau, Chablis Premier Cru, Vaillons 1x750ml

Robert Parker 93

Confirming its promise from barrel, the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons bursts from the glass with notes of fresh peach, citrus blossom, green orchard fruit, beeswax and almond paste. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a broad, textural attack, lively acids and excellent concentration. While it’s one of the more expressive wines in the range it will reward some bottle age. [William Kelley, 07/08/2019]
