Francois Raveneau Chablis Valmur Grand Cru 2019

Domaine Raveneau is arguably the greatest estate in Chablis. The Domaine produces limited quantities of wines from the village’s top vineyards. The Domaine’s holdings include 3 Grand Cru vineyards: Blanchot, Les Clos, and Valmur; and a selection of Premier Crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Les Vaillons, Butteaux, Chapelot, Mont-Mains, and Forêt. The Domaine’s creation dates back to 1948 when François Raveneau consolidated his holdings with his wife’s parcels. François Raveneau built the reputation of this estate thanks to his inimitable style and incredible consistency in quality.

This Valmur is made from 0.75 hectares of 40-year-old vines. the Climat of Valmur has a double personality, constantly juggling between remarkable freshness and distinctive sun-drenched quality. This duality, as well as strength and complexity, define its character. Sun-drenched, mineral, persistent, and austere (especially in the first years) — Valmur shows perfect balance, with an aging potential reaching 10 to 12 years.
