Along with 02, 04 and the majestic 2010, 08 is one of my absolute favorite vintages from Raveneau and it’s absolutely rocking tonight showing superb weight, density and waxy yellow fruit that’s layered with stony minerality and piercing lemony acids. 08 Raveneau is all about that Chablisian balance: proper levels of richness and acid, ripeness and minerality. Code yellow ftw

Settled and gorgeous. Pretty with soft citrus, wet rock, salinity, pear, hints of lychee. Resolved, balanced and delicious.

Along with 02, 04 and 10, 08 is one of my absolute favorite vintages from Raveneau. Tonight it is excellent and still markedly youthful. A multi hour decant brings out its superb weight, density, waxy yellow fruit and stony minerality with piercing lemony acids and saline driven finish. 2008 for me, is all about that Chablisian balance: proper levels of richness and acid, ripeness and minerality.

Drank side by side with 2007. This 08 has the edge for greater intensity, depth and weight. 4 hour decant for each, and that is always key with Raveneau or you’ll never experience the true magic of Chez Raveneau.

So good. Just kept building with incredible weight and intensity. Enjoyed along side MDT 2004 and 2008 and Dauvissat Clos 2004.

Butteaux. Drinking perfectly right now. It helps that it came directly from the domaine which is about 2 hours away. Comfirms yet again, the importance of handling and storage. This wine was epic and only 90 euro off a high end wine list! To compare, a glass of pineapple juice was 18 euro

Wow. 2008 vintage. What Chardonnay should be. Thanks, @David Bowler Wine & Gramercy for the taste.
