Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot 2011 - Raveneau
The "Blanchot" Climat: Located at the south-eastern end of the grands crus, this steeply sloping terroir, resting on a whitish soil, dominates the Blanchot valley that leads to the village of Fyé, and overlooks La Montée de Tonnerre, the hillside opposite.
"The Raveneaus’ 2011 Chablis Blanchots mingles bittersweet floral perfume, salt- and iodine-tinged crustacean shell reduction, and piquant huckleberry in a bright, juicy matrix of grapefruit and lemon. Subtly oily in texture yet buoyant, this finishes with glowing intensity and outright refreshment. Plan to follow it through at least 2022. Isabelle Raveneau suggests that, especially in this vintage, the grand crus display not just the dividend in richness that would generally be expected, but also an advantage in energy, quality of acids, and ultimately age-worthiness. Lucky those who will be in a position to test that hypothesis over the coming decade!" 92/100 Parker, tasted by David Schildknecht
