This is also highly expressive with notes of mineral-based reduction, white peach, pear and sea shore nuances that continue onto the rich, salty and quite pure medium-bodied flavors that possess an attractive succulence on the vibrant and ever-so-slightly austere finish. This is excellent, especially for the vintage.

The 2009 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre emerges from the glass with layers of silky fruit and a crystalline precision that is hard to capture with words. This floats across the palate with inimitable grace and classiness. The richness of the fruit (peach and apricot) is very nicely balanced with floral and minty overtones. This is a terrific showing from Billaud-Simon.
