Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

The reference wine for Chablis Grand Cru and for Kimmeridgian chalk-sourced Chardonnay. Les Clos is considered the finest of Chablis' seven Grand Cru vineyards — the steepest, most concentrated, and most structured. Raveneau's parcel produces a wine of exceptional longevity (20+ years in great vintages). The hallmark is almost saline mineral precision — oyster shell, lemon, chalk — with no obvious oak character despite barrel ageing in old wood. The wine demonstrates the 'terroir transparency' that makes the greatest white Burgundies unique.
