Lime zest and cool green orchard fruit glide over a deep core of sea-breeze minerality in the 2014 Domaine François Raveneau Chablis Valmur Grand Cru, showing remarkable precision and drive rather than sheer weight. The palate is intense yet finely etched, with concentrated citrus, subtle saline and floral tones, and a very long, tightly coiled finish that promises significant development in bottle.
Poached turbot with beurre blanc; Lightly grilled scallops; Dover sole meunière
Chablis Valmur Grand Cru from Domaine François Raveneau is one of Chablis’ benchmark Grand Crus, a tightly wound, intensely mineral Chardonnay from the amphitheater-like Valmur climat nestled between Les Clos and Vaudésir. Characteristically powerful yet chiselled, it marries concentrated citrus and orchard fruit with saline, oyster-shell and chalky notes, built for long aging and expressing Raveneau’s ultra-classic, low-intervention style at its most profound.
