Lot #133. François Raveneau Chablis Butteaux 2000

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93+ JG.
"The Butteaux vineyard is located with Montée de Tonnerre on the Rive Droit, and according to Jean-François, can always be counted on to make more age-worthy wines. In my experience, the Butteaux is always the second best premier cru in the Raveneau stable, with the wines lasting as well as the Montée de Tonnerre. The 2000 will be superb, and will require a few years in the cellar before it is broachable. The bouquet is deep and pure, offering up scents of lemon zest, green apple, strong chalky soil tones, incipient notes of paraffin, and though it makes no sense (with all these ancient barrels), a bit of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is deep and nicely tensile, with a great core of fruit, excellent delineation, birght, firm acids, and great legnth and grip on the finish." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Bonus Articles, Dec 2003
Notes: 2cm, chipped and lightly wine stained wax capsule, very lightly damp stained label.
