François Raveneau’s sons Bernard and Jean-Marie command eight hectares of Chablis’s finest sites—three Grand Crus and six Premier Crus scattered across the region’s Kimmeridgian landscape. Butteaux, among the highest of their holdings, sits on shallow marly limestone with blue clay, south and east-facing for ripeness, windswept for freshness. The wine tastes of flint and tension, strength without heaviness. In 2023—a warm, approachable vintage that Isabelle Raveneau calls a ‘party wine’—Butteaux still demands patience, rewarding cellaring with mineral intensity.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 94

"From 1.49 ha holding of 40+ year old vines. Prominent mineral reduction nuances add breadth to the aromas of cool apple, pear, just grated zest and iodine and algae wisps. The richer and more concentrated larger-scaled flavors flash even more evident power on the sappy, balanced, tightly wound and quite serious finale. The Raveneau Butteaux is consistently the reference standard for the vineyard and it's likely to be so again in 2023."

Antonio Galloni

AG 94

"The 2023 Chablis Les Butteaux 1er Cru conveys a sense of completeness on the nose that draws you into its charms. Its yellow plum, crushed rock and sea cave aromas are as beautifully defined as ever. The palate is very harmonious with a fine bead of acidity, real depth and sapidity, building toward a long yet tender finish that lingers in the mouth. This was difficult to spit out…" -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 95

"Uniting the depth of Forêt with the elegance and energy of Montmains, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux is one of the most complete and seamless premiers crus in Raveneau’s range. Based on similar clay-rich soils as Forêt but at a higher altitude, it’s sourced from 55-year-old vines that produce small, concentrated berries. It wafts from the glass with a deep bouquet of grapefruit zest, wheat toast and acacia mingling with oyster shell. Layered and textural but with a tightly wound core, it’s structured around chalky extract and mouthwatering acidity, concluding with a long, saline finish." -Kristaps Karklins

Decanter

D 94

"The delicious 2023 Butteaux from Raveneau boasts pronounced aromas of grapefruit and gooseberry, underpinned with salty minerality. The texture is more linear, as the crisp acidity brings a bit more tension, but there is also more extract here. The domaine owns two parcels that total 1.5ha in this lieu-dit (part of the larger Montmains umbrella on the left bank of the Serein). As Isabelle Raveneau describes it, the vines are planted in shallow soils at the top of the slope in the windiest location, driving the tension in this delightful wine."

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!
