Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru has a much more expressive nose than the Bougros at this stage, offering lifted lime flower and orange blossom scents, though perhaps there is less mineralité at the moment. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, showing just a little creaminess. Almond and chamomile notes appear toward the finish. Give this 3–4 years in bottle. |

Vinous (94)The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of quince, marmalade and light honeysuckle aromas. The palate is tightly wound, with crisp acidity, and very linear. The saline finish lingers in the mouth. Good potential. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is very reduced on the nose, although there seems to be good concentration here and Piuze commented that this is nothing unusual. The palate is well balanced, quite primal, rich and slightly honeyed, leading to a powerful finish where I am just seeking a little more delineation. Let’s see how this turns out in bottle. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2021 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose, but I find this composed with satisfying delineation and sapidity—hints of apple blossom emerging with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with an oily texture, perhaps a bit more solids in this Chablis that lend complexity. It does not quite deliver the mineralité and nervosité on the finish, however. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (90+)(bottled in January of this year; began in 20% new oak and 80% _cuve, then was assembled in old barrels after the malolactic fermentation): Medium yellow. Strong vanillin oak on the nose. Ripe, plush and dry, with the stone fruit flavors currently dominated by oak spice and caramel. Still a bit youthfully austere but fresher than the Cuvée Authentique. Will it absorb the vanillin oak? |

Vinous (93+)(bottled in January of 2016; all of the premier crus were bottled just before the 2015 harvest): Bright yellow. Yeasty baked bread and rocky calcaire dominate the nose. Dense, full and energetic; fat and silky for the vintage but classically dry and stony. Subtle notes of pineapple and flowers add complexity. Best today on the subtle, slowly mounting back end, which spreads out to saturate the palate with liquid stone. Not yet especially demonstrative but, with its penetrating stony minerality, this wine is built for a long life in bottle. |

Vinous (91+)Quite closed on the nose, hinting at menthol and wet stone. Then juicy and tight in the mouth, more taut and incisive than silky today, and showing superb precision for the vintage. Solid mineral grip extends the finish and gives this premier cru excellent tension, but it will need five or six years to unwind. |

Wine Advocate (95)I ordered a bottle of the 2010 Chablis 1er Cru les Butteaux at the impeccable Au Fil du Zinc restaurant in Chablis and immediately grabbed my pen to scribble a tasting note. This is such a scintillating Chablis, one that encapsulates everything great about the 2010 vintage. The nose is mineral through and through--imagine getting down on your hands and knees and just inhaling limestone after a shower. The palate continues that tensile, mineral-driven theme. It is incredibly tense, perhaps benefiting from a slight, but pleasant reduction towards the finish, with awesome length and precision. What a fantastic Butteaux from Domaine Raveneau. |
