Tasting notes
The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonerre 1er Cru has a well-defined nose of pressed yellow flowers and touches of orange blossom and shucked oyster shell. The zesty palate is very harmonious, displaying fine poise and precision and offering orange peel and plenty of spice toward the persistent, saline finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is gorgeous. Sweet, perfumed and light on its feet, the 2017 possesses striking aromatic intensity and nuance. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint, white pepper and chamomile add layers of nuance to a super-refined Chablis that conveys energy and finesse - the two key signatures of this great premier cru site.
This has such intense wet-chalky aromas with lemon curd and white nectarines. The nose is quite tightly wound for now. The palate has a smooth, sleek and very dense feel. Compact, with great weight and refined power. Plenty of potential here. Try from 2022.
