Domaine François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2017

Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2017 is a beautifully poised expression of one of Chablis’ most coveted premier crus, combining maturity, precision, and unmistakable minerality. Domaine Raveneau is revered for wines that capture the pure, chiselled character of Chardonnay in Burgundy, and this vintage shows why the estate has become a benchmark for collectors worldwide.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chablis shows a refined, developed profile with lifted aromas of lime, ripe citrus, and white flowers, layered over flinty mineral notes and a subtle hint of petrol. The nose feels expressive yet composed, with the fruit now softened by time while the wine’s signature freshness remains very much intact. On the palate, it is creamy in texture but firmly structured, with precise acidity giving shape to the wine from start to finish. The mineral backbone carries through to a long, salty, focused finish marked by wet-stone tension. It is drinking gracefully now, but should continue to evolve well over the next 5–8 years.

Production
Montée de Tonnerre is one of Chablis’ finest premier cru vineyards, known for its steep, limestone-rich soils that lend wines their trademark tension and saline drive. Raveneau’s approach is traditionally hands-off, with careful vineyard work and restrained vinification designed to preserve terroir expression and natural balance. The result is a wine that reflects both the site’s precision and the domaine’s understated craftsmanship.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled white fish, sushi, and refined poultry dishes with cream or citrus accents. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C to best show its aromatic detail and mineral drive. Decanting is not essential, but a brief airing can help the wine open up if served relatively young or from a cold bottle.

Producer
Domaine Raveneau is one of the most respected names in Chablis, with a reputation built on meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Over decades, the estate has become a reference point for premier and grand cru Chablis, admired for wines of depth, purity, and longevity. Today, Raveneau remains a symbol of excellence in Burgundy and a producer highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
