There are wines you drink, and then there are wines you remember forever. This is the latter.
The Purest Expression
Raveneau’s Butteaux is a unicorn bottle, a fiercely sought-after wine considered by many to be the purest expression of Premier Cru Chablis on the planet. From the left bank vineyard of Butteaux, this wine is a study in tension. Notes of lemon pith, green apple, and white flowers ride a powerful wave of crushed oyster shells and flint.
Made with zero flash and all heart, the Raveneau family farms by hand and ages the wine in old, neutral oak, letting the terroir speak. There is a quiet energy coiled beneath its precise surface, and the finish echoes with a long, vibrating minerality.
How to Enjoy
This is a once-in-a-lifetime bottle. To fully appreciate its complexity, decant for an hour before serving. Pair with the finest seafood, like steamed lobster or raw oysters, or simply savor the moment in quiet contemplation.
