In tank awaiting imminent fining and bottling, Raveneau’s 2007 Chablis Montmains displays a personality slightly split between brash citricity on the one hand and, on the other, a combination of textural waxiness and creaminess with lanolin and vanillin notes from barrel. A gentian-like floral note wafts all the way through to a finish uniting a bite of citrus rind and white pepper with chalk dust, salt, and refreshing citrus. This will need some time in bottle, but I suspect will be well worth following for at least 5-7 years.
