"The 1996 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru from Raveneau is astonishingly backward on the nose, almost Zen-like, with shucked oyster shell and struck flint, and a subtle adhesive scent that emerges with time. The palate is crisp, poised and full of tension. This is unapologetically citric and steely, an uncompromising âlook-me-straight-in-the-eyesâ Chablis that takes no prisoners, delivering wonderful mineralitĂŠ on the finish. It is a fabulous Chablis that will enjoy a very long life."
