Gentle citrus and orchard fruit glide through Domaine François Raveneau Chablis 2021, layered with hints of sea breeze, shellfish stock and a touch of wood that softens the vintage’s brisk acidity into something glossy and flowing. On the palate it feels concentrated yet graceful, combining peach, pear and green apple with a saline, chalky line that keeps everything taut and mouthwatering through a long, pure finish.
Poached turbot with beurre blanc; Oyster and scallop crudo; Roast chicken with lemon and thyme
Raveneau’s straight Chablis AOC is a benchmark village wine from tiny, low-yield parcels on classic Kimmeridgian limestone near Montmains and Forêts, entirely Chardonnay and hand-harvested. Fermented in stainless steel then raised in seasoned barrels, it delivers incisive acidity and oyster-shell salinity wrapped around pure white fruit and citrus, with the structure to age far beyond most village Chablis. In style it mirrors the domaine’s grands and premiers crus on a humbler scale: tense, mineral, and quietly powerful rather than showy.
