Burgundy Chardonnay
Domaine François Raveneau
Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2020
A fantastic nose. Intense lemon, cool slate, an oiliness. Surprisingly oaky on the palate. Lovely balance and freshness but a few more years to let that oak settle and this should be amazing — 12 days ago
Don’t they supposedly only use old barrels yet it often tastes oaky young?
It’s the first time I’ve encountered oak this noticeable on Raveneau

A hint of oxidative notes and a really pretty, quite intense nose. Lanolin, lemon oil, slate. Very clear and pretty with a splash of salinity on the finish. Good texture. Excellent. — 4 days ago
