Raveneau, Chablis Montmains Vintage:2009 this is much more deeply(from relatively young vines based in Montmains proper). Here the expressive nose mixes primarily floral notes with hints of citrus, pear, sea breeze and quinine along with a nuance of exotic fruit. There is a relatively soft, indeed even tender mouth feel to the lightly mineral inflected medium weight flavors that display a touch of salinity on the delicious if slightly warm finish. This too should be approachable young if desired. (90) 2018+
