    “The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos has a much more expressive bouquet than the 2015, with beautiful orange blossom and smoky scents decorating the nose. The palate is very well balanced and so saline in the mouth that you almost want to reach for your bucket and spade. This Les Clos is so seductive and so harmonious, seeming to bloom and deliver fabulous intensity on the finish. Whereas Valmur is the pick in 2015, the Les Clos might be the pick in 2014, thanks to its sense of completeness. But as I mentioned in my remarks from barrel last year, patience will be paramount for those seeking to witness this Chablis at its peak.”
    Robert Parker, 97 points
    “Completely closed on the nose following the Valmur, hinting at citrus peel, yellow plum, wild herbs and toast. At once dense and weightless, delivering painful cut to its penetrating flavors of stony minerality, citrus peel and anise. There's no way into this impenetrable, imploded wine today. Best today on the juicy, building finish, which saturates the palate with musky oyster-shell minerality, licorice and grapefruit zest. With its extraordinary solidity and cut, this potentially great wine really calls for a decade of cellaring and should be very long-lived.”
    Antonio Galloni, 95+ points

    About Raveneau

    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 20 acres of land spread across three grand cru and six premier cru sites in Chablis.
