Domaine Francois Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2023 750ml

93-95 Uniting the depth of Forêt with the elegance and energy of Montmains, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux is one of the most complete and seamless premiers crus in Raveneau’s range. Based on similar clay-rich soils as Forêt but at a higher altitude, it’s sourced from 55-year-old vines that produce small, concentrated berries. It wafts from the glass with a deep bouquet of grapefruit zest, wheat toast and acacia mingling with oyster shell. Layered and textural but with a tightly wound core, it’s structured around chalky extract and mouthwatering acidity, concluding with a long, saline finish.
