Chablis Grand Cru - Domaine Raveneau - Le Clos
One of the best white wines I have had the pleasure of drinking to date, and probably won't drink again so soon.
One of my last assignments for my former employer took me to Paris to "La Tour d'Argent", where, as a normal mortal, you just can't get in... After the starter I had to vanish, but not without having a drink to the end of the day... And that was it: a revelation! I didn't know the price or anything else about this wine, but I thought to myself that if I only got one glass, it must be something special.
Label photographed, researched, -and bam! Chablis Grand Cru, from one of the most renowned chateaus of Burgundy, namely the Domaine Francois Raveneau with Le Clos. A bottle costs around 370 euros. Yeah, I have to mention it anyway. I think that's when my passion for French wines was awakened. I wanted to learn everything about grape varieties, growing regions, vintages and above all, which wines I really like!
