François Raveneau Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru 2020
White
Chablis, France

WineSaint
Ginger and crisp apple drive the palate with impressive weight and mineral backbone. The structure feels taut and serious, lacking Fôret's immediate appeal but showing the focused intensity that defines great Vaillons. Time should soften the edges and reveal more complexity.
