Chablis Forêt 1er Cru 2022, François Raveneau
A monumental white, among the rarest and purest in the world. The olfactory profile alternates fresh citrus with mineral, chalky notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between volume and acidity. A demonstration of strength that confirms Raveneau as the ultimate interpreter of the nobility of Chablis Chardonnay.
Chablis Forêt 1er Cru 2022, François Raveneau
The Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2022 by François Raveneau is one of the highest, most refined, and profound expressions of the Chablis region. Butteaux, part of the Montmains climat, is known for its exposure and its clay-limestone soil, which gives the wines a density and severity almost "Grand Cru" in nature. In this 2022 vintage, characterized by sunny weather but managed with the usual technical mastery of the Raveneau family, the wine reaches extraordinary fullness. On the nose, it is a concert of precision: notes of lemon peel, green apple, and white flowers blend with deeper aromas of flint, oyster, and a hint of acacia honey that will emerge over time. On the palate, it is sumptuous, almost tactile, yet immediately lifted by vibrant freshness and iodine-like minerality that extend the finish endlessly.
