Reviews 91 points Wine Advocate "Notions of pear, citrus oil, white peach and spring flowers introduce the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Foret, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise wine that's elegant and fine-boned, concluding with a long, saline finish. As usual, this is the Raveneau premier cru to pick if you want to open a bottle young. (WK)" 93 points John Gilman "The Domaine Raveneau Foret is excellent in the 2020 vintage. The bouquet is bright and precise, but notably more reserved in personality at the present time than the Chablis villages. It delivers scents of lemon, pink grapefruit, apple, a fine base of limestone, paraffin and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and tightly-knit, with a fine core, lovely backend energy and cut, impressive minerality and a long, elegant and vibrant finish. This is going to be excellent, but it will demand a bit of bottle age before it starts to drink with generosity. (JG)"
