The Story

The Brothers Raveneau are a dream team. They carry the family torch with pride, yet with a reserve, pragmatism, and humility that is more likely found among true farmers than the artists they are. There is no set division of labor between the brothers, just “all hands on deck,” as each one brings his own expertise to the mix. Jean-Marie attended the Lycée Viticole in Beaune, and has been with the domaine since 1978. In 1995 when François retir...

Written Notes

We started with a 2002 Raveneau Chablis Valmur, as a good bottle of Chablis is almost a pre-requisite when you visit The Don. If you want to experience the best value in the fine and rare world of white wine, go to Chablis, specifically Raveneau and Dauvissat. Ok, Trimbach’s Clos Ste Hune as well. Unfortunately, The Don told me that 2002 happened to be a bad vintage for Chablis after I opened the sucker. This is the thing about Chablis; it doesn’t coincide with the rest of white Burgundy all the time, at least vintage-wise. The Valmur had oyster shells and yeast in its nose, and a palate that was pretty much all waterfall. It was a bit watery, light in its middle (89).
