Domaine Francois Raveneau, Chablis Grand Cru, Valmur 2004

Pale yellow. Reticent, pure nose offers stone fruits, nutmeg and minerals. Then tightly wound and sharply delineated, with classic citrus character. Very 2004 in its rawness and austerity. But this very dry, backward, minerally wine boasts plenty of underlying density of material and should be long-lived.
