Chardonnay · Chablis
93 points from Antonio Galloni.
“The 2011 Chablis Butteaux is subtle, gracious and utterly impeccable in its elegance. All the elements are simply in the right place. Articulate, energetic and nuanced, the 2011 captures all the qualities of this 1er Cru site, in miniature. This is another of the more approachable 2011s from Raveneau.”
“I drank most of my bottles of Raveneau's 2011 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux too young, and more fool me, as the wine is now really hitting its stride. Offering up aromas of oyster shell, citrus oil and beeswax, the slightly herbal notes that betrayed the vintage in its youth have been transformed into scents of warm hay as this Butteaux reaches maturity. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with chalky structure and impeccable balance, it concludes with an impressively long, penetrating finish.”

Domaine François Raveneau is a noted producer based in the Burgundy subregion of Chablis, where the small plots of Chardonnay produce some of the appellation's most sought-after wines.
The domaine was founded in 1948, when Raveneau acquired new vineyard land through marriage. He was the first of his family to bottle wines made from the grapes from his vineyards – prior to this the grapes had been sold off to other producers. Today the domaine has 8 hectares (20 acres) of land spread across three grand cru and six premier cru sites in Chablis.
One bottle, 750 ml, of the 2011 vintage.
