THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER CHABLIS FROM FRANCOIS RAVENEAU
The climat in Chablis is very unpredictable to say the least. You often see frost in the spring as well as the fall, the grapes rarely ripen to the same levels here as they do further south in Chassagne-Montrachet. There are only seven Grand Crus in this appelation or less than a quarter of a percent of the total growing area. The cold weather patterns in this regions results in wines that are steely, have sharp acidity with hints of citrus and that needs time to mature and "come together" to really show their full potential.
The wines by François Raveneau are considered benchmark wines for the region and the most sought after. He insists to keep very low yields and prefers to pick early and to chaptalise, rather than pick over-ripe grapes lacking acidity. He vinifies in steel tanks and thereafter leaves the wine in old barrels for eighteen months.
We are very happy to offer both Grand Crus and Premier Crus from the outstanding vintages of 1999 and 2000.
