2008 DOMAINE FRANCOIS RAVENEAU Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots

The 2008 vintage in Chablis is legendary, often cited by connoisseurs as one of the most "classic" and high-acid years in recent history. Within this context, Raveneau’s Blanchots stands as a monument to the aging potential of the Kimmeridgian terroir. Sourced from the steep, eastern-facing slopes where white clay dominates the limestone, this Grand Cru is known for its floral elegance and crystalline precision. After nearly two decades of careful cellaring, this 2008 expression has entered its peak drinking window. At Domaine Raveneau, the winemaking remains frozen in time: hand-harvesting followed by a long, slow fermentation and aging in the estate's signature neutral "feuillette" oak barrels. This bottle represents a rare opportunity to experience a fully mature Grand Cru from arguably the world's most prestigious Chablis producer, showcasing a perfect marriage between vibrant mineral energy and the complex tertiary depth of a legendary vintage.
