Energy runs through the 2017 Domaine François Raveneau Chablis Valmur Grand Cru, with taut lemon and cool white stone fruit layered over sea-breeze salinity, crushed rock and a subtle touch of toasted nut. The palate is compact yet powerful, intensely concentrated and driving, its racy acidity and firm extract giving a long, precise, almost chiselled finish that clearly signals a long life ahead.

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.
