Note di degustazione
A strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage in Chablis this year, the Raveneau family's 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp green apple, citrus zest, iodine, oyster shell and fresh hazelnuts. Full-bodied, taut and chiseled, it's incredibly taut and concentrated, with huge depth at the core, tangy acids and a long, penetrating, pungently saline finish. Might this turn out to be even better than the magical 2017? Time will tell, but this is clearly a masterful achievement.

The 2019 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru conveys strictness and correctness on the nose compared to the more expressive and perhaps more aromatically elegant Blanchots. This is a little austere at first, but it warms up nicely and reveals subtle orange blossom and undergrowth scents. The harmonious palate is very well balanced, with hints of white chocolate and orange pith surfacing with time. Overall, I am just slightly impressed by the precision shown by the Blanchots at this early juncture.
The 2019 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has a strikingly intense bouquet of lemon peel, mint, linseed and grilled almonds, displaying wonderful definition and amplitude. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine line of acidity, powerful but so elegant. The way it fans out on the finish is thrilling. One of the top wines of the vintages.
