"This is my favourite 1er Cru in 2011 from Raveneau. The older vines of Butteaux, most being more than 50 years or older, have handled the roller coaster vintage and the summer rains extremely well. The aromatics are delicate with pretty floral and stone fruits, while on the nose it is minerally and stony with a persistent finish. There is more finesse and delicacy here than in the Montmains. A steely core combines with delicate and layered flavours. Love the combination of nuance, subtlety, and power."

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.
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.
