NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru 'Blanchot' is a highly regarded wine from the Chablis region in Burgundy, France.On the nose, Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru 'Blanchot' offers enticing aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of white flowers and a subtle mineral undertone. The palate is equally impressive, with a vibrant acidity that brings freshness and balance to the wine. Flavors of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, intermingle with zesty lemon zest and a distinct saline character, showcasing the unique terroir of Chablis.
This wine displays a remarkable depth and concentration, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a lasting impression. It is a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth, but also has the potential to age gracefully for many years, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve. It pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, such as oysters, scallops, or grilled fish, as well as creamy cheeses.
