Dinner at The Charles Brasserie: Domaine François Raveneau
Wednesday 25th February 2026
Presented by United Cellars

There are great Chablis producers, and then there is Raveneau, the name collectors speak about in quiet tones. Bottles that vanish on release, wines that rarely leave private cellars, and a style so precise and unmistakable that once you taste it, you never forget it. This dinner at The Charles Brasserie is designed to give you something almost no one gets any more: the chance to understand Raveneau across age, vineyard and vintage, all in one sitting.

The night begins with a glass of Champagne Jacquinot, a calm breath before the story starts. Then the arc unfolds. Younger Chablis shows you the raw limestone pulse of the domaine, all purity and tension. Older vintages start to reveal what collectors chase, the quiet savoury depth that only time can give. Premier Crus open up like chapters in a book, each vineyard speaking in its own voice, from the mineral weight of Butteaux to the electric lift of Montée de Tonnerre.

And then you reach Valmur, the Grand Cru that defines the height of Raveneau. Tasting it across vintages is the kind of moment people remember for years, because the structure, the depth and the calm power simply do not taste like anything else.

This dinner is not about ticking off rare wines. It is about being able to taste Chablis the way it is meant to be understood: side by side, across time, with space to notice the detail and the patience behind every bottle. For anyone who loves Chardonnay, Burgundy or simply wants to experience something that has become almost impossible to access, this is a night that will not come around again.

A small room, a serious lineup and wines that speak for themselves. If you have ever wanted to know why Raveneau sits at the very top, this is your moment.

What to Expect

• A dinner that feels more like opening a private cellar.
• A guided exploration of vineyards and vintages rarely poured together.
• A chance to witness maturity, minerality, power and purity in a single narrative arc.
• And above all, an evening built for people who understand that Chablis, in the right hands, is not just Chardonnay, it’s a life’s work.

Seats are extremely limited. This is a night that won’t be repeated.
