Sourced from two small parcels at the base of the Forêt slope on deep, limestone-rich soils, the wine embodies the precision and terroir-driven approach that defines Raveneau’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"511\" data-end=\"898\"\u003eIn the glass, it opens with vibrant aromas of grapefruit zest, ripe pear, dried white flowers and subtle quince, framed by the chalky minerality that is synonymous with Chablis. The palate is both deep and lively, with racy acidity providing freshness and structure. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and saline tension build through the mid-palate, creating a sense of focus and momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1405\"\u003eClassical winemaking methods including hand harvesting, gentle pressing and careful élevage preserve purity and texture while allowing the site’s character to shine. The finish is long and chalky, leaving a resonant impression of mineral depth and refined acidity that points to excellent ageing potential. Balanced and composed, this Premier Cru is drinking beautifully now yet will reward time in bottle, and pairs seamlessly with oysters, scallops and richer seafood finished with citrus butter sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"191\" data-end=\"1555\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1557\" data-end=\"1574\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1557\" data-end=\"1737\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1585\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1588\"\u003e– Citrus and orchard complexity\u003cbr data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1622\"\u003ePronounced aromas of grapefruit zest, ripe pear and dried white flowers with hints of quince and bright minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1928\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1749\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1752\"\u003e– Deep, lively and structured\u003cbr data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1784\"\u003eMedium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity driving citrus and orchard fruit, chalky salinity and a finely textured core that builds with energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"2071\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1940\" data-end=\"1943\"\u003e– Long and chalky\u003cbr data-start=\"1960\" data-end=\"1963\"\u003eA persistent, mineral-rich finish with lingering citrus zest and saline clarity that resonates with finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2309\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2096\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2096\" data-end=\"2099\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Here the 2023 Forêt expresses solid aromas of ripe pear and quince with chalky minerality and floral notes, offering a texture that is deep and driven more by extract than acidity.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Decanter, 94 points, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2311\" data-end=\"2521\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Sourced from two small plots, this wine soars with grapefruit zest, dried white flowers and pear, showing controlled expressiveness, racy acidity and a long, chalky finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Wine Advocate, 91–93 points, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2523\" data-end=\"2743\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2023 Chablis Forêt has a more mineral-driven bouquet, with flinty scents emerging with time in glass and a beautifully balanced palate showing saline entry, hints of clementine and quince.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Vinous, 92 points, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"2959\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"2763\"\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2763\" data-end=\"2766\"\u003eStyle – White Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2787\"\u003eVarietal – Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"2808\" data-end=\"2811\"\u003eCountry – France\u003cbr data-start=\"2827\" data-end=\"2830\"\u003eRegion – Chablis Premier Cru, Burgundy\u003cbr data-start=\"2868\" data-end=\"2871\"\u003eVintage – 2023\u003cbr data-start=\"2885\" data-end=\"2888\"\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"2907\" data-end=\"2910\"\u003eABV – 13%\u003cbr data-start=\"2920\" data-end=\"2923\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Francois Raveneau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42497950744663,"sku":"DFRFORCH-23","price":799.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/c435a69f-76e5-4462-82b6-c198db327abd.jpg?v=1769468553","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-francois-raveneau-foret-premier-cru-chablis-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
