Lot #281. François Raveneau Chablis Les Clos 1996

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 NM.
"The 1996 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru from Raveneau is astonishingly backward on the nose, almost Zen-like, with shucked oyster shell and struck flint, and a subtle adhesive scent that emerges with time. The palate is crisp, poised and full of tension. This is unapologetically citric and steely, an uncompromising “look-me-straight-in-the-eyes” Chablis that takes no prisoners, delivering wonderful mineralité on the finish. It is a fabulous Chablis that will enjoy a very long life." Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb 2019
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,900
