Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2007 François Raveneau
Raveneau's Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux is a dry white wine produced by the famous French winery Domaine Raveneau, located in the Chablis wine region of Burgundy. It is a wine made from Chardonnay grapes from cru Butteaux, one of the most prestigious wine-growing areas in Chablis.
The Butteaux cru is located on the right bank of the Serein River, and is characterized by a limestone soil with a large amount of oyster fossils and other marine mollusks. This soil, combined with the region's unique climatic conditions, helps give the wine a distinctive character and mineral flavor.
Raveneau's production philosophy is based on the use of traditional growing techniques, such as selective pruning, careful yield management and hand-picking of the grapes. The winery also uses indigenous yeasts for fermentation, which help give the wine a unique and distinctive flavor.
The organoleptic characteristics of Raveneau's Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux are complex and sophisticated. The wine shows a straw-yellow color with greenish highlights. On the nose, there are hints of white-fleshed fruits, such as apple and peach, combined with notes of citrus and minerals. In the mouth, the wine is fresh and vibrant, with great acidity that makes it very balanced and pleasant to drink. The finish is long and persistent, with a saline note that recalls the limestone terroir on which the vines grow.
