Tasting notes
Aromas of citrus oil, fresh bread, peach and apple blossom introduce the 2018 Petit Chablis, a medium-bodied, ample and giving wine with lively acids and chalky grip on the finish. Bottled predominantly in magnum, I suspect its capacity to age may surprise.

The 2018 Petit Chablis is bright, airy and lifted, with notable freshness to its citrus and floral notes. The 2018 possesses unreal precision and nuance within its peer group. The added richness of the year is quite welcome at this level. Raveneau's Petit Chablis is a jewel of a wine.
From a small plot, planted in 2010 on the north plateau above Vaudésir. This early maturing vintage has delivered additional richness in this wine. Very exotic and sweetly floral. So fragrant and plush. Big, peachy fruit. Very succulent. Drink on release.
From young vines above Les Clos and Valmur. Clean clear bright fresh, white fruit, very chiselled, pure fresh balanced and long. So crisp yet still plenty of fruit, a delicious Petit Chablis.
