====== Raveneau ======
\\ **General information**: Raveneau's grapes are 100% hand harvested. The grapes are crushed before pressing and given a 12 hour\\ //débourbage //(gross lees settling). The fermentation takes place in large fermenters either with or without selected yeasts, depending on the vintage. The wines are placed in older barrels for 12 months and then placed in stainless steel for approximately another six months. (Note that this practice parallels that of Domaine Leflaive and Roulot, both of which also have a low incidence of premox.) New barrels (from Chassin) are used only to replace barrel stock. At approximately 18 months, the wines are usually fined, filtered and bottled.\\ \\

  * **Chablis Blanchots** (Nov 2011): Not oxidized, surprisingly good for a 2003 [MLT]
  * **Chablis "Blanchot"** (Feb. 2015 – Jul. 2018): 5 btls not oxidized. Still very primary & youthful in 2015; reaching its plateau of drinkability in 2018. Probably better decanted. No traces of "2003" vintage traits (q.v. the comments on 2003 Vaillons). 3 btls purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Nov. 2013 + 2 btls purchased from Kermit Lynch in early 2015. [Rayner Cheung]
  * **Chablis Clos** (Feb 2010): very 2003 but no signs of oxidation [ER]
  * **Chablis "Clos"** (Mar. 2019 – ): 3 btls not oxidized. A real gem of a wine from a difficult vintage. Best decanted, but requires less coaxing than the Valmur. With patience, there are strong hints of the depth & power found in more regular vintages. Sweet white flowers in the nose, together with delicate minerality & surprisingly colorful texture on the palate. Luxurious refinement. From a lot of 3 purchased in Apr. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer, & a further 2 btls in Mar. 2015 from Kermit Lynch its West Coast importer. [Rayner Cheung]

  * **Chablis** **Montee de Tonnerre** (May 2012):no signs of oxidation, NOT very 2003 it was lean not flabby [Suzanne Camhi]
  * **Chablis "Vaillons"** (Feb. 2016 – Dec. 2016): 4 btls not oxidized. Pale yellow. Better decanted to remove the earthy/wheaty aromas associated with this heatwave vintage. Somewhat lighter in the nose & on the palate than other vintages. 2 btls purchased from Kermit Lynch & 2 btls purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer, all in early 2015. [Rayner Cheung]

  * **Chablis Valmur** (Oct 2011): A clumsy wine, but no signs of oxidation [NTyson]
  * **Chablis Valmur** (April 2014): no premox but a bit too 2003 [A.Latimer]
  * **Chablis "Valmur"** (Dec. 2016 – Oct. 2020): 6 btls not oxidized. This wine is much better decanted & served from a glass with a wide bowl. Gorgeous, classic Raveneau nose of sweet white flowers, more subtle than in other vintages. No hint of "2003" vintage traits (q.v. the comments on 2003 Vaillons). Precise, refined flavors on the palate with an impressive & dry finish. From a lot of 4 purchased in Mar. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer, & a further 2 btls in Mar. 2015 from Kermit Lynch its West Coast importer. [Rayner Cheung]
