The average vine age here is 45 years, from a 1.5ha site in Butteaux which is higher up in the valley. Pronounced floral aromas of white peach and some slightly more exotic jasmine notes. Intensity on the palate with additional concentration from the old vines - a touch of dried stone fruit. A deep and profound premier cru which has a luscious palate whilst also managing to be supremely elegant yet also weighty and powerful. This will last many years.
An overtly floral nose speaks of elegant and admirably pure aromas of quinine, white-fleshed fruit and a plethora of classic Chablis elements and in particular, iodine. There is excellent volume to the concentrated and powerful medium weight plus flavors that flash evident minerality on the markedly dry, youthfully austere and slightly more complex finale. This is quite tightly wrapped and as is usually the case, this should prove to be long-lived.
The 2021 Chablis Les Butteaux 1er Cru builds on its promise from last year with effervescent yellow fruit, quince and crushed stone aromas, with just a hint of hazelnut in the background. The palate’s intense bouquet has a touch of wild fennel infusing the citrus fruit, strict and focused, with an almost penetrating finish. This is going to give 15-20 years of pleasure.
A strong effort in this challenging year, Raveneau's 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux reveals aromas of orange zest, pear, honeycomb and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny palate that's pure and racy, with a sweet core of fruit and a nicely defined finish.
