Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Chablis Chapelot 1er Cru from Raveneau has a rather austere bouquet, nicely defined with subtle mineral tones, but it needs more vigor and chutzpah. The palate is well balanced with grilled walnut on the entry, touches of bitter lemon and a pleasing, quite edgy finish. This did not show quite as well as it could on the day.

One of the brighter wines in the range, the 2011 Chablis Chapelots is highly intriguing from the first taste. Expressive floral overtones add lift and brightness. White peach, pear and spice notes follow, rounding out the wine nicely. Chapelots is a sub-climate of Montee de Tonnerre, and is bottled separately when there is enough production to warrant two distinct wines from Montee de Tonnerre. For example, there will be no 2012.
