Montée de Tonnerre has a sandy, rocky topsoil, rich in Kimmeridgian limestone. The one-hectare parcel that gifts this wine is situated within the lieu-dit of Chapelot, which is separated from the Grand Cru Blanchot by a narrow ravine. The vines cover two continuous plots: one aged 50 years; and a second parcel recently replanted. This is regularly the most mineral, chalky, deep and powerful 1er Cru Chablis in the range. It is also one of the most limited.

There’s thrilling clarity here, with scents of citrus oil, white flowers and iodine on the nose and a chalky palate that is both intense and elegant. A chiselled seam of crystalline fruit is flecked by flavours of sweet mint, juniper, honey and a whisper of hazelnut. It finishes long and stony.

Reviews

“There’s a little reduction hidden in here making more aromatic depth. Wide, more saline – lots of complexity here – fine energy too. A wine that needs to come together more but the finish is wide and delicious.”
Bill Nanson, The Burgundy Report
“There is a lot of intensity in this Montée de Tonnerre. The wine is racy and driven. It is firm, with chewy texture and a minty finish.”
95 points, La Revue du Vin de France
