with gorgeous fruit and elegance to spare

Raveneau, Chablis 1er Cru Foret, 2023 SO042324_Bordeaux_Spring This Blanc de Noir ExtraFort sits near Grand Cru Blanchot on poor, clay light Kimmeridgian soils that force vines deep. The result tastes brightly fruity yet tautly mineralizedaccessibility leavened with definition. In 2023, the vintages ripeness finds full expression here: juicy, approachable, yet never soft. This isnt a training wheels Chablis; its a wine that comes fully formed but doesnt require a decade to shine. Mineral structure guards the gate; ripe fruit opens it
