La Revue du Vin de France
97 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
Like the Valmur, this is brooding and introverted though aggressive swirling eventually coaxes the overtly floral nose to reveal an abundance of classic Chablis elements that include oyster shell, iodine, quinine and tidal pool on the mix of apple, pear and white peach aromas. There is outstanding volume to the dense, serious and tautly muscular big-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and sappy dry extract before culminating in a citrusy, chiseled and even more persistent finish. This exceptionally stylish effort is like rolling small pebbles around in the mouth, yet the 2019 Clos is somewhat less youthfully austere than it usually is. The Raveneau Clos possesses a well-deserved reputation for exceptional longevity and the 2019 version should only enhance it though with that said, I would advise not even thinking about opening a bottle for at least 10 years. Brilliant.

“Glowing pale primrose. The nose is both backward and very classic. Strict pure, firm white fruit, sitting on its limestone bench. Absolutely immaculate, the lightest of lemon notes woven in towards the back of the palate and a faint salinity, all adds to the complexity. The persistence was never in doubt.”
96 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has the most complete bouquet of the domaine’s three Grand Crus. it is beautifully defined with scents of citrus fruit, red apple, flint and a touch of peach skin. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening and a waxy texture. Touches of marmalade and peach skin, pithy stone fruit and subtle stem ginger notes mix with rhubarb toward the very satisfying finish. Outstanding length.”
