2008 Domaine Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru "Montée de Tonnerre"

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2008 Domaine Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru "Montée de Tonnerre" (96VN, 94BH, (93-94RP), 93JG). Vinous: "Bright yellow with a green tinge. Classic Montée de Tonnerre aromas of lemon ice, crushed rock, iodiney minerality and white flowers. floral, lemon ice, straight and classic. Tactile, juicy and utterly gripping--in fact still almost painful today. Powerful salty minerality and penetrating acidity currently dominate the wine's lemon oil, grapefruit and floral flavors, with the wine showing a weightless impression. The dusty mineral-driven finish stains the palate and builds inexorably... Drink the 2010 for lunch now but hold this magical wine for another couple years, as its spring is still tightly coiled. This was my favorite wine of the tasting. The 2014 and 2010 vintages may be richer and deeper, as Isabelle Raveneau suggested to me three years ago, but this '08 is utterly classic. (ST)" (08/2019)
