If Raveneau’s Grand Crus were a band, Blanchots would be the dream pop lead—all delicate textures, high notes, and ethereal vibes. It’s the most floral, most fine-boned wine in the lineup, and in a cool, balanced vintage like 2017, it’s showing that elegance on full display.

Expect white flowers, lemon oil, and wet chalk, with Raveneau’s trademark quiet intensity running underneath. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t strut. But give it a little air and it just floats—clean, lifted, and hauntingly beautiful.

Drink it now if you're in the mood for subtle magic, or give it a few years and let the glow build. Either way, it’s proof that power isn’t always loud.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93

"An elegant, pure and airy array is comprised by notes of white flowers, pear, green apple and plenty of classic Chablis elements. The clean, precise and impressively intense middle weight flavors are like rolling small rocks around in the mouth, all wrapped in a sneaky long finish that is also very, very saline. This will require at least 5+ years of cellaring and reward 10+." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 96

"The 2017 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru is a dense, powerful wine that reflects the natural concentration of yields that were just 13 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to the more typical 50 or so. Lemon confit, white flower and orchard fruit notes are packed into an explosive Chablis that will only truly blossom with quite a bit of time in the cellar. The 2017 is so deep, so vivid and so striking. I can't imagine opening a bottle before its tenth birthday." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 95

"The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is showing brilliantly, delivering a complex bouquet of honeysuckle, smoke, mandarin and wheat toast. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and satiny-textured, with striking concentration, lively acids and a pure, precise finish. From the domaine's oldest parcel—planted in 1936—this is a powerful, ineffably complete Blanchot that will be well worth following for three decades." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 98

"The higher part of the Blanchot grand cru gets more sunshine, but this isn't a powerful wine as you might expect. It's elegant and restrained, with seashore aromas of kelp and rock pools, and a bracing, stony finish." -Tim Atkin, MW

Wine Spectator

WS 96

"A plot right at the top of the hill with plenty of morning sun. Wet stony aromas with waxy grapefruit pith and savory almond notes. The palate has a very succulent, fleshy and juicy core. Lithe and strong. There’s immense power here. A wine for longer aging."

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
