The 2002 Chablis Vaillons offers aromas reminiscent of liquefied stones, spices, and pears. Medium to full-bodied, it bursts on the palate with awesome layers of creamed almonds, salt, flint, and white fruit pulp. Its extraordinary texture, super-rich, plush, and sexy, is only surpassed on the wow-scale by its stupendous length ... this level of quality and Bernard Raveneau had not reached for the grand crus yet! Projected maturity: 2007-2015. “2002 was the kind of vintage we’d love to see every year, it has excellent balance and loads of flesh,” said Bernard Raveneau. Harvest for the Raveneaus began the last week of September, and the grapes were “healthy, with between 4 and 4.5 grams of acidity (per liter), and ripe, there was no need to chaptalize.” The estate’s wines will be bottled in April and May, 2004.I have never tasted a line-up of Chablis with the sensual textures and stunning terroir-driven flavor profiles exhibited by Domaine Raveneau’s 2002s. These are magnificent wines that I would do almost anything to own, age, and drink... Bravo!
