Domaine François Raveneau
Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
Smells like an aged Raveneau, honey over minerality, still vibrant acidity, full-bodied w/nice richness, long, lingering finish, not quite as fine as the 1989 Chapelots 1er Cru I posted on recently, but very close!!

Mar 17th, 2026Lemon and flinty aromas and flavors, great acidity, great complexity and depth, even at 35 years old, as I always say, Raveneau is singular, super long, lingering finish, great Chablis 1er Cru!!!
I am down to my last 18 bottles of 1988-1990 Raveneau, but these are incredible wines bought on release at criminally inexpensive prices (compared to today), but Francois made INCREDIBLE Chablis!!!

Very youthful still, absolutely great bottle of older Chablis, amazing length, great wine!!
