When it comes to Chablis, Raveneau is the name. They don’t make much, they don’t make a fuss—and yet collectors go bananas for these wines, and with good reason. The 2017 Butteaux is a perfect snapshot of what makes Raveneau special: it’s intense without shouting, mineral without being lean, and built to age without needing to.

Butteaux is a tucked-away 1er Cru that punches above its weight—same slope as Montmains, just a little cooler and deeper. In 2017, that translated to crazy precision: lime zest, crushed shell, a whisper of creaminess, and that Raveneau texture that somehow feels both firm and airy.

It’s the kind of wine you can geek out on or just sip and smile. Open it now for a masterclass in restraint, or stash it and let it slowly turn legendary.

"Wafting aromas of essence of pear, iodine and copious amounts of mineral reduction are also trimmed in just enough wood to mention. The succulent yet powerful broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent muscle and intensity on the super-saline, indeed this has an almost salty finish. Fine quality here and built-to-age as well." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 95

"The 2017 Raveneau Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru is in fine shape. A touch of decanting, which I always do for younger Chablis, really allows the aromas, flavors and textures to shine. The 2017 is in the perfect spot today, as it offers a good deal of complexity yet remains quite vibrant. Citrus confit, marzipan, white pepper and floral overtones show the textural resonance of a fine Chablis with bottle age. Clean, bracing mineral notes start to appear over time. Superb." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 94

"A brilliant wine that numbers among the finest recent renditions of this cuvée, Raveneau's 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux wafts from the glass with a complex bouquet of lemon oil, green apple, dried white flowers, almond paste and iodine. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with terrific depth and concentration, racy acids and exquisite textural finesse. Impeccably balanced, this is a strikingly elegant, complete Butteaux that's somewhat reminiscent of the domaine's 2010, though I suspect it will drink well sooner than that wine." -William Kelley

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--
