Blanchot is the most easterly and one of the steepest of Chablis’s Grand Cru climats, where chalky Kimmeridgian limestone soils give rise to wines of exceptional energy and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"919\"\u003eIn the hands of Raveneau, the 2023 vintage reveals a crystalline core of citrus and orchard fruit, framed by saline minerality and finely defined acidity. The bouquet opens with aromas of pear, orange zest and citrus blossom, layered with notes of crushed shell, subtle florals and a hint of beeswax that add complexity and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"1482\"\u003eOn the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied yet buoyant, with vibrant acidity carrying concentrated flavours of green apple, lemon zest and white peach through a long, mineral-driven finish. Classical winemaking practices including hand harvesting, gentle pressing and extended lees contact with minimal oak influence allow the site’s character to shine. Compelling with careful cellaring and built for long-term evolution, this Blanchot Grand Cru will reward patience over decades and pairs beautifully with fine seafood, shellfish or rich poultry dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"1534\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1743\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1556\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1567\"\u003e– Citrus, orchard and mineral intensity\u003cbr data-start=\"1606\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003eAromas of pear, orange zest and lemon blossom weave with crushed shell, saline undertones, white flowers and faint beeswax complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"1937\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"1755\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1758\"\u003e– Concentrated and vibrant\u003cbr data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1787\"\u003eThe palate is medium to full-bodied with focused citrus, green apple and chalky mineral layers underpinned by racy acidity and a finely textured core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"2095\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"1949\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1949\" data-end=\"1952\"\u003e– Long, saline and precise\u003cbr data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"1981\"\u003eA sustained finish marked by saline clarity, lemon zest and taut minerality that resonates with harmony and focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2396\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2120\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Informed by the estate’s oldest vines planted in the 1930s, the 2023 Blanchot is medium to full-bodied, enveloping yet bright and precise, with aromas of pear, orange zest, beeswax and wheat toast.
