Those looking for Grand Cru White Burgundy of immense quality without breaking the bank - look no further! Francois Raveneau is arguably the best domaine in Chablis and they have been producing a lot of star buys for Burgundy collectors over the years. They are considered to have the same status of top producers Coche Dury, Leflaive and Ramonet, producing incredible Chardonnays with full potential to age but keeping prices very approachable. They are easily one of the names which Burgundy drinkers may miss but they are indeed one of the smartest buys for fine wine nowadays.

There is excellent freshness and complexity to the layered combination of mineral reduction, pear, green apple, white flower and quinine water that could be from nowhere else but Chablis. There is equally good freshness and verve to the big-bodied, muscular and powerful flavors that possess plenty of sappy dry extract that coats the palate while buffering the impressively long, lemony, chiseled and mildly austere finish. This is still quite backwards, and while it could certainly be enjoyed now as there is so much to like, it should amply reward extended cellaring. Tasted twice in the last two years with consistent if not identical notes. Lovely juice. (Tasted 2019, Try from 2022+)

The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux is a brilliant young wine, offering up a classy bouquet of minty green apple, salty oystershells, lemon oil, wet stones and subtle white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample but controlled, with a stunning alliance of elegantly glossy texture and tangy acidity. Structurally, the wine is quite tight-knit and firm at the core, with exceptional depth, though such is its balance and harmony that it's deceptively drinkable today. The true fireworks, however, will be reserved for those with the patience to cellar this Chablis for another 6 or 7 years. A strong case could be made that the 2014 is the finest Raveneau Butteaux in a decade

The 2014 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru from Domaine François Raveneau is drinking beautifully, even though I am fully aware of committing infanticide. It is one of my favorite vineyards ­– and in my view, an underrated one – from a benchmark Chablis growing season. A stunning, razor-sharp bouquet offers limestone and petrichor aromas, and hints of walnut and shucked oyster shells develop with aeration. That fresh marine influence translates into a palate that displays exquisite balance and just a hint of toffee apple, closing in slightly toward the finish. There is so much tension and grace here. Brilliant.

Subject to final confirmation. ETA Mid of Sep 2023.
