The 2016 Chablis Foret Raveneau showcases the distinct characteristics of its Premier Cru origin. The 0.67-hectare parcel within the Forêt vineyard is known for its mineral-driven wines that reflect the site`s unique terroir. This vintage, impacted by frost and hail, still achieved a notable expression through Raveneau`s meticulous vineyard management. Aromas of citrus and green apple are complemented by hints of oyster shell and white blossoms. The palate reveals a structured body, with focused acidity and a chalky finish that suggests longevity.

The 2016 Chablis Forêt 1er Cru is a little more tight-lipped on the nose compared to the Les Montmains, requiring more coaxing from the glass. That could be a sign of bottle shock. The palate is very promising with a crisp line of acidity, gentle grip and a live-wire, spicy finish that matches the exotic style of the vintage. This warms up in the glass and shows great potential, but may require your patience. Neal Martin1st August 2018
