Domaine François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2013

Domaine Raveneau is one of Chablis’ most revered names, and Montée de Tonnerre is among its most coveted Premier Cru sites. The 2013 vintage captures the domaine’s signature precision, depth, and mineral drive, with just enough oak influence to add polish without overshadowing the wine’s pure Chardonnay character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chablis shows a bright, youthful profile with a pale golden hue and an elegant sheen. The nose opens with citrus peel, yellow flowers, and a distinct mineral edge, followed by subtle praline and lightly toasted nuances from discreet new oak. On the palate, it is concentrated and layered, with a rounded, juicy entry balanced by fine acidity and excellent tension. The finish is long, saline, and mineral-driven, making this a wine that is already compelling but still has the structure to age beautifully over the years.

Production
Montée de Tonnerre is one of the most prized Premier Cru vineyards in Chablis, known for its cool climate and limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soils that give the wines their hallmark freshness and stony character. Raveneau works with meticulous attention in the vineyard and cellar, aiming for low yields, careful harvesting, and a vinification style that preserves purity and site expression while allowing a subtle integration of oak.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, oysters, roast chicken, and delicate white fish with butter-based sauces. Serve it chilled at around 10-12°C, and consider brief decanting if opening it young to help reveal its aromatic complexity.
