Domaine François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2002

Domaine François Raveneau’s Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2002 is a benchmark expression of mature Chablis, combining crystalline precision with remarkable depth and grace. From one of the region’s most revered producers, this is a wine where Grand Cru terroir, low-yield concentration, and years of careful aging come together in a compelling, collector-worthy bottle.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a luminous, mature gold hue, reflecting both its age and pedigree. On the nose, it unfolds with layers of ripe citrus, dried white flowers, subtle toasted almond, and the unmistakable chalky minerality that defines great Chablis. The palate is focused and energetic, with a firm mineral spine supporting elegant, well-resolved fruit. A long, saline finish brings freshness and precision, while the wine’s depth and balance suggest it will continue to evolve beautifully over several more years.

Production
Sourced from the Grand Cru vineyard of Valmur in Chablis, Burgundy, this wine is shaped by classic limestone and Kimmeridgian marl soils that contribute to its signature tension and minerality. The 2002 vintage was marked by low yields and high concentration, resulting in a wine with both power and finesse. Vinification at Domaine Raveneau is traditionally restrained, allowing vineyard character and vintage expression to remain front and center.

Food & Serving
This is an exceptional match for refined dishes such as lobster, turbot, scallops, or roasted sole, as well as poultry in a light cream sauce or aged Comté. Serve cool, ideally around 10–12°C, to preserve its aromatic detail and mineral drive. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help the wine open gracefully if serving from a younger bottle or one recently in storage.

Producer
Domaine François Raveneau is one of the most highly respected names in Chablis, celebrated for producing wines of extraordinary purity, longevity, and site expression. Founded in the 1940s and still family-run, the domaine has built a global reputation for its meticulous viticulture and classic winemaking.
