97 / 100"Racy lemon and lime, with an exquisite and explosive nose. A very light toast too. Lots going on here. A glorious wealth of fruit but above all it is the backbone, the line, this is the most pure yet concentrated expression of Chablis that one can imagine. Endless aftertaste. Just more open today? Drink from 2030-2040+. - 94-97 Points"

"Like the domaine's Valmur, the 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Clos remains attractively cool and precise in this warm vintage. Revealing aromas of confit lemon, peach and orange zest mingled with notions of beeswax and white flowers, it's full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, chalky finish. - William Kelley"

Tasting Notes
This is the pinnacle of Chablis winemaking, showcasing the exceptional terroir of the iconic Les Clos vineyard. Known for its steep, sunlit slopes and mineral-rich soils, Les Clos delivers unmatched intensity and purity. Raveneau’s meticulous approach, including hand-harvesting and careful oak integration, ensures a seamless blend of vibrant acidity, layered complexity, and refined elegance. In its youth, the wine offers invigorating notes of lemon zest, green apple, and delicate white flowers, underpinned by its signature flinty minerality. Over time, it blossoms into a richer, more textured profile with notes of honeyed almonds and preserved citrus. Whether enjoyed young or after years of cellaring, this Grand Cru is a testament to Raveneau's mastery and the singular brilliance of Chablis’ finest terroir.
