Founded in 1948, Domaine François Raveneau is one of Chablis`s finest producers, with a cult following all over the world. The estate comprises eight hectares of land spread across three Grand Cru and six Premier Cru sites. All the grapes are harvested manually, one of the very few remaining producers in Chablis to do so. This release comes from Blanchot, the southernmost of the seven official sites of the Chablis Grand Cru hill. 2005 is widely regarded as a legendary vintage across the board and the remaining available wines are in very high demand.

Vinous
Pale yellow. High-toned, slightly exotic pineapple aroma-heavier, like the '06, notes Bernard Raveneau. Fat and oily on the palate but with a very dry impression in spite of its ripe pineapple flavors. Very long and a bit warm on the back end, with a trace of finishing bitterness. In style this is more Cote de Beaune than Chablis. Much broader than the sample I tasted a year ago from barrel. Today, this one strikes me as the oddball among these 2005s.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2007
