Energy drives this 2015 Domaine François Raveneau Chablis Butteaux Premier Cru, where ripe citrus, white peach and a touch of apricot blossom are cut through by piercing limestone brightness and a gentle herbal lift. The vintage’s generosity shows in the breadth and texture on the palate, yet the wine stays taut and focused, finishing long, salty and impeccably precise.

Chablis Butteaux Premier Cru from Domaine Francois Raveneau is a highly sought‑after Chardonnay from the cool, windy Butteaux sector of the Montmains premier cru, where older vines rooted in deep, clay- and chalk-rich soils give particularly concentrated, mineral-driven wines. Typically combining white orchard fruit, citrus oil and subtle stone-fruit notes with pronounced saline, chalky tension and understated oak, it is one of the domaine’s most powerful yet incisive premier crus and is built to evolve beautifully in bottle.
