Chablis, Montée de Tonnerre--Vintage 1996
F Raveneau
Lightly bin soiled label, one cracked capsule
"Distinct notes of truffle, sous bois and that interesting older Chablis vegetal note lead to crisp, racy and moderately aged middle weight flavors underpinned by firm acidity and fine length. Like many '96s in Chablis, this is quite particular but there is no oxidation but it would be fair to say that the aromas are hardly youthful. I would drink up now and over the next three years as it's hard to see this doing anything other than declining." BH (Jun 2005)
