Robert Parker (92)

Raveneau’s 2008 Chablis Montmains – a cru he chose this year to ferment as well as mature in barrel – smells of white and pink grapefruit zest and brown spices, along with a 1996-reminiscent note of white truffle. An oily feel and spiciness reinforced by a hint of oak complement its bittersweet citrus oil flavors, and the texture here is quite plush for the vintage. But there is also a refreshing core of primary lemon and grapefruit juiciness, and this finishes with an impressive sense of energy and penetration. It would best be given 2-3 years in bottle and should show well for at least 8-10.

A more refined and elegant nose runs more to the floral side of the spectrum with lemon zest and subtle tidal pool hints that carry over to the pure and cool flavors that display fine balance and again, plenty of acid-buffering mid-palate fat. Delicious but entirely serious.
