"Domaine Raveneau 2013 Butteaux is just starting to drink well. The bouquet is starting to blossom, offering up scents of lemon, apple, beeswax a touch of oyster shell, chalky soil tones and a topnote of citrus oil. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, crisp and focused, with impressive complexity and lovely cut and grip on the long finish. This has more classical minerality than is typical of the average 2013 Chablis. Lovely wine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
