Wine Critic Reviews
My last bottle of Raveneau's 2005 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur was drinking brilliantly, opening in the glass with an almost preternaturally youthful bouquet of wet stones, waxy citrus rind, oyster shell, white flowers and honeycomb. Full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a dense, concentrated core of fruit girdled by racy acids and chalky extract, it concludes with a long, mineral finish.

Pale yellow. Brisk, pure aromas of citrus skin, powdered stone, quinine and iodine. Juicy and citric on entry, then supple and rich in the middle, but with superb energy giving shape and grip to the lemon-lime, citrus, stone and floral flavors. Conveys an impression of sucrosite but also comes across as wonderfully fresh and taut. Pure, palate-dusting, rising finish boasts terrific lift and aromatic perfume. Valmur is favored in hot years, notes Raveneau. The vines here run north-south, which enables them to resist the mid-day sun and retain freshness.
