Domaine François Raveneau Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011
The 2011 Chablis Butteaux is subtle, gracious and utterly impeccable in its elegance. All the elements are simply in the right place. Articulate, energetic and nuanced, the 2011 captures all the qualities of this 1er Cru site, in miniature. This is another of the more approachable 2011s from Raveneau. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Delicate and precise nose of oyster shells, lime, stone. On the palate a lovely tone and freshness. Slight salinity and good fruit. A decent finish. Excellent

11’ Raveneau always on the savory side but its herbal qualities made for a great match with the food at Jua, Korean tasting menu.

A glorious wine. 2011 Raveneau are great. Light, bright, transparent, lucid. An intense rock pool nose with slate, lime, honeysuckle. A touch of grapefruit. Quite light on the palate but very defined and delicious. Not super long on the finish but refreshing and complex. Perfect with the lobster salad. A study in the power of complexity over power and focus over richness.

Very lifted and bright. Delicate lemon, bright floral notes, a lovely saline core. Fresh and full of vivacity. Great stuff.

Very fresh and lifted with a chalky, limey quality and a touch of honey and sandalwood. Young and focused and crisp with good acidity.

Quite restrained on the nose. Oily limey chalky. A very poised and balanced mid palate- quite savory with good minerality.
