The Forêt is very pretty, opening in the glass with notes of apple, dried flowers and beeswax, framed by light reduction which should dissipate by bottling. The wine is glossy and textural, with good grip and concentration but without the electric minerality of Dauvissat’s rendition.

From a parcel of younger vines, the 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Forêt offers up attractive aromas of lemon, green apple, oystershell and spring flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, glossy and pure, with racy acids, attractive purity and a delicately chalky finish. It's one of the most elegantly open-knit wines in the Raveneau cellar.
