5-Oh Bday Dinner... Med yellow gold color. Honeyed citrus nose with that soil notes that says aged Raveneau. River stones, lemon, apple, and white flower in the mouth. Long finish. Great bottle. Still young.

Butterscotch, nutty, bottle sweetness, still a great fill level, plenty of acid to keep it from being cloying, lingering finish, I’m aware this was likely better 10-15 years ago, but it’s hanging in there, down to my last mixed dozen of 1989 and 1990 Raveneau purchased on release!!

Mar 10th, 2026This seems fresher than the 1989 Butteaux (plus, the entire cork, in 3 distinct pieces, came out of the bottle), color is light/medium gold, but fruit doesn’t show the depth of the 1989 Butteaux, both are still alive and solid (at 35 YEARS!?!?), but this Chapelot is fresher, while the Butteaux is fatter/richer, thus I’ll give each the same score!

Nov 10th, 2024What a difference from the 1986 Chapelot, 3 years younger, super youthful color, very youthful aromas and flavors, great acid and balance, long finish, super fine 1er Cru Chablis!!!
