 | Qty=1Size=750 ml, RP[92]"The Raveneau 2008 Chablis La Foret – like his village wine, from young vines – displays a vintage-typical aromatic medley of iris, grapefruit, sage, green tea, white currant, and crushed stone. (Here, the exuberant 6 month old wine’s nose reminded me of Sancerre.) Firm in feel, palpably extract-rich and persistently bright, this cuvee’s fresh citrus, herbs, and lingering stoniness provided a rather 2007-like sense of cool restraint that contrasts with the sheer forwardness of its aromas. I suspect that it will reward those with a few years of patience and perform well for the better part of a decade." - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate #191 (Oct 30, 2010) |
