Raveneau
Francois Raveneau, an elusive but stoic vigneron, founded the domaine in 1948. It is now run by Bernard and Jean-Marie, two brothers. They have miniscule yields of hand harvested Chardonnay in many of Chablis finest sites. Each of their holdings is no larger than a suburban house. This Burgundy has a cult following.

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with very light chamomile notes emerging, usurped by struck flint and petrichor scents that eventually dominate. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, perhaps a little more straightforward than the Fôret, quite linear in style with a precise finish. This will require two or three years in bottle. |

Vinous (91)The 2019 Chablis-Villages is well defined and pure on the nose, offering scents of dried honey, dandelion and a little quince jus, all pretty and growing in stature with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a waxy-textured opening. There’s good depth for a Village Cru, and a slightly pithy, peach skin finish. Excellent. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2021 Chablis-Villages comes from two parcels, the main one just opposite Epinottes. It shows quite a bit of reduction though you can still tell there is plenty of vibrant, citrus-fresh, blood orange-tinged fruit underneath. The palate is well balanced with a lilting entry, fine weight, just a very slight honeyed texture on the mid-palate and smile-inducing purity towards the finish. Enjoy this over the next decade. |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2009 Chablis Blanchots is deep, powerful and intense, particularly in the way it blossoms on the palate with layers of radiant fruit. This is a striking wine graced with an expressive, open personality that resonates through to the generous finish. I especially like the raciness of the fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. |

Wine Advocate (92+)The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots is much more reserved on the nose, biding its time, not wishing to make a grand entrance like some of the more expressive premier crus at this stage. The palate is fresh and crisp, again with impressive salinity and hints of ginger lending spiciness on the back palate. It does not quite deliver grand cru weight and penetration on the finish, mainly due to the vintage, but it does linger incredibly long afterward. |

Vinous (94)The 2016 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru has a complex, quite beguiling bouquet with scents of dried honey, acacia, pressed flowers and orange blossom that unfold in the glass and attain quite a high level of intensity. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, taut and poised with hints of spice, orange rind and grapefruit towards the pixelated finish. What a great Blanchots from Isabelle Raveneau. Tempting in its youth for sure, but it will reward those with the nous to cellar for five years. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2018 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru is a wine of tremendous aromatic lift, perfume and energy. Bright citrus peel, white flowers, crushed rocks and intensely saline notes inform this bright, tightly wound Chablis. The 2018 is going to need a bit of time in the cellar to fully come together. It is a classically austere, forbidding young Chablis in a style that is unusual for the year, and I mean that in a positive sense. |

Burghound (96)As is often the case, this is aromatically quite similar to the Montée de Tonnerre with just a touch more wood in evidence. Here too the slightly richer flavors possess an equally gorgeous texture with a bit more mid-palate stuffing to the intense, powerful and bone-dry finale that exhibits simply huge length. This beauty is even firmer, and I wouldn't even think about opening a bottle for at least 10 years, research purposes aside! |

Wine Advocate (96)The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is a broad, enveloping wine, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, apricot, freshly baked bread, green apple, pastry cream and petrol. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's satiny and layered, with lively acids, terrific depth at the core and a long, sapid finish. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2021 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru has the most "classic" or what you might call "old school" bouquets amongst Raveneau's 2021s and I love it: razor-sharp, struck flint and granite scents. The palate is very taut on the entry, linear, a vertical Chablis that feels very long with a saline finish that lingers in the mouth. What a superb Blanchots - one for Chablis purists. |
