Note di degustazione
The 2023 Chablis Les Butteaux 1er Cru conveys a sense of completeness on the nose that draws you into its charms. Its yellow plum, crushed rock and sea cave aromas are as beautifully defined as ever. The palate is very harmonious with a fine bead of acidity, real depth and sapidity, building toward a long yet tender finish that lingers in the mouth. This was difficult to spit out…

Uniting the depth of Forêt with the elegance and energy of Montmains, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux is one of the most complete and seamless premiers crus in Raveneau’s range. Based on similar clay-rich soils as Forêt but at a higher altitude, it’s sourced from 55-year-old vines that produce small, concentrated berries. It wafts from the glass with a deep bouquet of grapefruit zest, wheat toast and acacia mingling with oyster shell. Layered and textural but with a tightly wound core, it’s structured around chalky extract and mouthwatering acidity, concluding with a long, saline finish.
The 2023 Chablis Les Butteaux 1er Cru has a lifted bouquet with yellow fruit, nectarine and light floral scents. A touch of white peach emerges with time. The palate is well balanced with a citric line of acidity, quite tight at the moment with a very linear, strict finish and a saline aftertaste. This will require four or five years in bottle.
