Tasting Notes

Raveneau's 2011 Chablis 1er Cru Forêt is drinking very well, offering up an expressive nose of preserved lemon, white flowers, beeswax and even creamy white peach. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and elegantly glossy, with good depth and concentration, underpinned by racy acids. While some of the more tight-knit 2011s in the Raveneau cellar still need a few more years—most notably the Montée de Tonnerre—readers who own this lovely Forêt, which surpassed my expectations, should feel no qualms about starting to pull corks. Drink Date 2018 - 2023
