"The Butteaux vineyard is located with Montée de Tonnerre on the Rive Droit, and according to Jean-François, can always be counted on to make more age-worthy wines. In my experience, the Butteaux is always the second best premier cru in the Raveneau stable, with the wines lasting as well as the Montée de Tonnerre. The 2000 will be superb, and will require a few years in the cellar before it is broachable. The bouquet is deep and pure, offering up scents of lemon zest, green apple, strong chalky soil tones, incipient notes of paraffin, and though it makes no sense (with all these ancient barrels), a bit of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is deep and nicely tensile, with a great core of fruit, excellent delineation, birght, firm acids, and great legnth and grip on the finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
