Tension and depth define the 2015 Domaine François Raveneau Chablis Valmur Grand Cru, with layered citrus and green orchard fruit framed by smoky reduction, sea-breeze salinity and a powerful, almost red-wine-like structure. The palate is broad and concentrated yet impeccably focused, driven by stony minerality and a long, dry, tightly coiled finish that promises considerable further complexity with time in bottle.

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.
