"The 2015 Clos from Domaine Raveneau is an outstanding example of the vintage, which like the Valmur, shows some uncharacteristic early generosity on the attack, but plenty of backend structure and grip. The bouquet is a fine blend of apple, pear, beeswax, chalky minerality, citrus zest, spring flowers and just a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off excellent mid-palate depth, with fine acidity and a long, vibrant finish. Like the Valmur, there is plenty of generosity on the attack today, but this too should show more firmness after bottling . . ."

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.
