Francois devoted himself to viticulture, joined by his son Jean-Marie in 1978. Upon Francois's retirement in 1995, his other son Bernard, who had started in the Burgundy wine trade, joined the estate. Bernard's daughter, Isabelle, began working there in 2010, followed by Jean-Marie's son, Maxime, in 2017.

Together, they manage the 10 hectares of family-owned vines using traditional and sustainable methods. Winemaking involves minimal intervention, with wines fermented in vats and aged in traditional old barrels before bottling in spring. This approach results in wines that are less oaky or buttery, instead emphasizing the vintage and the Chablis terroir, characterized by marine sediment, fossils, and minerals.

The estate produces limited quantities, sourcing nearly all from Chablis's top vineyards, including three Grand Crus: Blanchot, Les Clos, and Valmur, along with Premier Crus such as Montee de Tonnerre, Les Vaillons, Butteaux, Chapelot, Mont-Mains, and Foret. These vineyards benefit from southwest-facing slopes, maximizing sun exposure for optimal ripening.

Le Clos, perhaps the most renowned Grand Cru in the region, features vines from 1963, 1976, and 1989, yielding complex, well-balanced wines with excellent aging potential. Blanchot covers 0.67 hectares with vines from 1935 and 1970, offering powerful, aromatic wines with classic Chablis minerality. Valmur, planted in the late 1960s, is a challenging steep slope producing elegant, silky wines with great aging potential. Compared to other Burgundy regions, these top sites in Chablis offer exceptional quality and value.

Meanwhile, Raveneau’s Premier Crus provide budget-friendly options without sacrificing quality. Montee de Tonnerre, near Grand Cru Blanchot, features vines from the 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s, delivering complexity, balance, power, and minerality. Chapelot, within Montee de Tonnerre, is crafted from select plots of old vines, offering a more refined and elegant style

Vaillons, planted in the late 1970s, benefits from a sunny mid-slope, resulting in aromatic wines with Chablis's signature minerality and salinity. Butteaux, Foret, and Mont-Mains share a hill; Butteaux, at the top, produces rich, mineral wines with good aging potential; Foret, at the bottom, yields tender, floral, and delicate wines; while Mont-Mains, on the flatter mid-slope area, produces deep and blossom-like wines.

Raveneau remains the gold standard for quality Chablis, setting the benchmark for White Burgundy producers. It is one of the names that our clients and wine enthusiasts worldwide eagerly pursue for these coveted bottles.
