Note di degustazione
The 2023 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru takes a little time to cohere its crushed stone, Granny Smith and sea spray scents in the glass. This has wonderful definition. The palate is beautifully balanced with a killer line of acidity. It is tensile, focused and lightly spiced, with just a hint of white tea toward the finish. This is a sublime Blanchot that should age for 20 to 30 years in bottle.

Informed by the estate’s oldest vines, planted in the 1930s and yielding small, concentrated grapes, Raveneau’s 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot has turned out very well. Located at the top of the lieu-dit, where the soils are shallower and defined by the early morning sun that lasts until late afternoon, it offers aromas of pear, orange zest, beeswax and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping yet bright and precise, it is an attractive wine though somewhat less intense this year than the brilliant Valmur.
The 2023 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru has a stricter and more classically-styled bouquet than the Valmur, a little tertiary perhaps with superb delineation. The palate is well balanced with an edgy entry, quite pointed acidity, citric and spicy with what you might almost describe as a "jagged" finish. This will cohere during its barrel maturation. Uncompromising (in a good way).
