Francois Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2022

"The secret is that there is no secret. It all begins in the vineyard, and from then on it's simply hard work.? Given the immense reputation that Domaine Raveneau enjoys in the wine world, this opening statement on the domaine's website seems almost too modest. And yet it perfectly reflects the reason behind the extraordinary class of Chablis's most famous producer: true excellence begins in the vineyard, and everything else takes a back seat! The 2022 vintage offers the minerality of the outstanding site, along with white flowers, wet stone, citrus, oyster shell and a hint of quinine. "Burghound?'s Allen Meadows calls the wine "a stunner? and advises: buy it if you can find it. We can only agree with this advice!
