Chablis, Montee de Tonnerre

If there is one estate to give credit in exalting the Chablis name, it is Domaine Francois Raveneau. Long associated with the inexpensive bulk wine in California, the true Chablis of Burgundy are explosive Chardonnays with a driving vein of acidity thanks in part to the limestone rich soils. Raveneau is meticulous in the vineyards and produces wines that are worth every penny of their going rate.
