Francois Raveneau Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux 2018 AOC 0.75l

Francois Raveneau Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux 2018 AOC 0.75l is a white wine that embodies a certain idea of ​​Burgundy: a cold, calcareous territory, where light and rain build a minerality that resists time, produced by the illustrious Raveneau house which offers one of the most authentic expressions of the Butteaux cru, an elevated position overlooking well-exposed vineyards and soils mixed with limestone and clay; the history of the Raveneau winery is that of a family who has chosen to express the terroir through a careful viticulture practice, closely linked to the seasonal calendar and a manual harvest that maintains the integrity of the grapes intact; the company's identity is born from the idea of ​​craftsmanship, control of maturity and a vinification that respects the intrinsic characteristics of the grapes, allowing the wine to express a clear and precise aromatic description; The production philosophy favors a light touch: minimal intervention, clean, temperature-controlled fermentations, and aging in neutral containers and old barrels to refine the texture without adding foreign flavors. The distinctive characteristics of this Butteaux lie in the balance between mineral purity and finesse on the palate: notes of ripe citrus, lemon zest, a light flint, and hints of lily and green apple emerge on the nose, while the palate develops a saline sparkle, a lean yet present structure, and a tension that accompanies a long, clean, and persistent finish. Within the producer's portfolio, the Francois Raveneau Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux 2018 occupies a prominent position, representing the domaine's ability to offer a moderately aging wine, capable of developing calmly over time but ready to be enjoyed now with shellfish, oysters, and fatty fish dishes. in line with STELT's positioning, it is a conscious choice for those seeking authenticity, structured sobriety and an unfussy interpretation of the terroir.
