Critics Ratings

‘The Raveneau 2011 Chablis – bottled early this year – features juicy lime and white currant for a piquant and tart impression wreathed in musky floral perfume and infused with chalk dust and saliva-liberating shrimp shell reduction. This conveys delicacy and lift as well as persistent refreshment, one of hearteningly numerous examples (if – at least in U.S. retail terms – by far the most expensive) of the degree to which the right combination of site, vines and grower can transcend the modest expectations misleadingly conveyed by the terms “generic,” “simple,” or “village-level” as applied to a Chablis.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Aug 2013)

‘A fruity and very fresh nose of mixed white and yellow orchard fruit aromas leads to attractively intense and racy middle weight flavors that are a bit more forward than is typical with this wine, all wrapped in an easy-to-like but punchy finish of fine depth and length for the appellation.’ Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Oct 2013)

‘The 2011 Chablis has a wonderful immediacy to it. Juicy, expressive and pliant, the 2011 is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet floral notes add lift to the yellow-fleshed fruit in a silky, soft Chablis that captures the very best qualities of the year.’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Aug 2013)
