“The 2018 Petit Chablis is bright, airy and lifted, with notable freshness to its citrus and floral notes. The 2018 possesses unreal precision and nuance within its peer group. The added richness of the year is quite welcome at this level. Raveneau’s Petit Chablis is a jewel of a wine.” 

Burghound, 

“There is both good freshness and reasonably good typicity to the white orchard fruit scents. The vibrant and nicely concentrated medium weight flavors possess a caressing and succulent mouth feel while delivering acceptably depth and persistence though there is a bit of perceptible backend warmth.” 

John Gilman, 

“The 2018 Petit Chablis from Domaine Raveneau is going to be a lovely bottle. The bouquet offers up scents of apple, pear, straw, a lovely base of chalky soil tones and a hint of smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, long and shows off a lovely core of pure fruit, with sound framing acids and very nice length and grip on the well-balanced finish.” 

James Suckling, 

“From a small plot, planted in 2010 on the north plateau above Vaudésir. This early maturing vintage has delivered additional richness in this wine. Very exotic and sweetly floral. So fragrant and plush. Big, peachy fruit. Very succulent.” 

Wine Advocate, 

“Aromas of citrus oil, fresh bread, peach and apple blossom introduce the 2018 Petit Chablis, a medium-bodied, ample and giving wine with lively acids and chalky grip on the finish. Bottled predominantly in magnum, I suspect its capacity to age may surprise.”
