2023 Chapelle de Blagny Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Ravelles' (PRE-ARRIVAL ONLY)

Pre-arrival price only, wine will be $275 when landed. 

Matthew Jukes on the Domaine – “In a surprisingly short period, Chapelle de Blagny has become a must-buy Meursault producer.” 
 
Sarah Marsh MW on the Domaine – “He (Etienne) focuses on a gentle remontage and is doing a lovely job: light and lacy reds, with the same delicacy and translucency as the whites.” 

95+ Pts, Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) - " A tighter expression of Meursault, and none the worse for that.  While peach, green banana, citrus, marzipan with a cool minty perfume. It’s creamy with a mint white chocolate richness, but bright in acidity, citrus and hazelnut, finishes crisp and flinty, with excellent length. It looked even better after being open for a day, so I’d suggest the best is yet to come. Very good. Stylish too."

The average vine age is 60 years from this cool higher site.  A detailed & finely nuanced Chardonnay & a very citrus driven expression of Meursault. As like previous, releases there's terrific energy, persistence & length - suggesting long term cellaring potential.
