More than 25 years old, the wine still bursts with citrusy grapefruit aromas and hints of coconut water, oyster shell and cream. The texture is rich but vibrant, with nothing heavy and a finish that lingers moreishly on the palate. Judging from this bottle, there is every reason to continue ageing this. A superbly memorable dinner wine, enjoyed during my most recent trip to Burgundy [in 2024].

Unyielding on the nose, but oh so rich and creamy in the mouth, combining depth of honey, lemon, mineral and nuts with a bracing acidity. Seamless and incredibly long on the finish.

The 1997 Chablis Montee de Tonnerre has magnificent aromatics of sweet white fruits, candied apples, almonds, and red berries. This concentrated and medium-bodied wine offers loads of minerals, chalk, and flint in its mouth-coating personality. It has Raveneau's trademark purity of fruit, grip, and delineation.
