Chablis 1er Cru Chapelot Raveneau (Domaine) 2018
The wine
The Chablis Premier Cru Chapelot is a section of old vines on the Montée de Tonnerre plot which is vinified separately, volumes permitting. This wine is therefore not made in every vintage year - Jean-Marie Raveneau prefers not to release it when quantities are low. This wine should be aged before consumed, as all the wines from Domaine Raveneau - this allows the wine to be enjoyed at its very best, with all of its elegance and balance fully revealed.
Led by traditional methods (manual harvesting and controlled yields), Domaine Raveneau is today one of the most sought-after names of the Chablis appellation. The vineyard covers 7.5 hectares, divided into five premier crus and three grands crus. Jean-Marie and Bernard Raveneau, the current owners, maintain the desire for perfection that has typified the maison since its origins: for example, they prefer to harvest early to ensure a good level of natural acidity, even to chaptalise rather than picking an over-matured fruit. In three generations, ownership has risen to a legendary rank: its worldwide reputation means that the wines are practically unobtainable, especially since the domaine no longer accepts new customers, all its harvest being reserved in advance. The fine wines are consistently harmonious, with superb minerality thanks to a honeyed touch due to élevage in wood. These wines are popular worldwide.
