"The 2000 Raveneau Clos is extremely elegant and complex at this stage, with similar reticence as displayed by the Montée de Tonnerre and Valmur, but already a more complete wine that shows all of its slices of what will it be in the future. Today, the bouqet is pure grapefruit and soil, with notes of flint, chalk and oyster shell all to be found among the shadings of terroir in this young wine. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and racy, with a seamless structure, perfectly integrated and bracing acids, and profound length on the finish. A very young, very aristocratic bottle of Chablis."

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.
