"The 2015 Blanchot from Domaine Raveneau is a beautiful wine, with all of the customary elegance of this cru already apparent aromatically and on the palate. The bouquet offers up a very pure and refined mélange of lemon, pear, beeswax, chalky minerality and a potpourri of floral tones in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and focused, with a lovely core, fine balance and a very long, vibrant and zesty finish. The acids here frame the wine nicely, but this is going to be hard to resist in its youth."

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.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
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.
