Note di degustazione
Juicy, generous citricity is also a feature of Raveneau’s 2006 Chablis Montmains, but here we have more serious suggestions of chalk and savory umami, mineral character; a texture more silken than creamy; and a brightly citric, pungent, zesty, faintly peppery length. This dynamic cru should be worth following for 7-9 years at least. Bernard Raveneau is an unabashed partisan of his 2005s – and no wonder, based on the subset of those that I tasted, including a magnificent Valmur which he rightly terms “complete” and “close to his ideal.” Raveneau is less effusive in praise of his 2006s – each of which I tasted from a selection of barrels – opining that lavish fruit and richness are precisely this collection’s fortes. I think he underestimates the depth of his own 2006s, and only hope I have opportunity to revisit some of them in five or ten years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.

Pale green-yellow color. Subtle, vinous aromas of citrus fruits and spices. Rich, supple and easygoing, with a sexy sweetness to the lemon and lime flavors. This is more obviously Chablis-like in its firm structural underpinning. Finishes with lovely vibrancy and perfume.
(the Raveneaus have relatively young vines here) Subtly complex aromas of fresh hay, herbs, lemon and lime. Juicy and sharply chiseled, with good limey lift to the flavors of citrus zest and white flowers. This boasts a lovely sugar/acid snap and finishes with considerable early sex appeal. Very tasty already.
