2017 Domaine Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru "Vaillons"

Vaillons, as the core of this large premier cru is known, supplies the majority of this cuvée. It's an incredible wine, with the classic tension of the best left bank whites joined by notes of cream, fennel and oyster shell. (TA)

The 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is an exceptionally beautiful wine endowed with tremendous length and pure power. Lemon confit, dried flowers and mint are some of the many notes that build in the glass. Textured and resonant through to the finish, with captivating beauty and tons of sheer allure, the Vaillons is so gorgeous. Frankly, it is hard to move on from it in this tasting. (AG)
