Tasting notes
The cool and vibrant style of 2021 suits Chablis beautifully. This top Premier Cru is chalky and pure with vibrant citrus fruit, yet a creamy richness that fills the palate. It’s taut with thrilling, limey acidity, a green-fruited freshness and an intense sherbet-edged, long, mineral finish.

The 2021 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is aged 70% in stainless steel and 30% in 456-liter barrels (Cadus) for 15 months. It has a light green apple, pear and damp earthy/mossy bouquet needing more intensity. The palate feels a bit sweet, maybe chaptalized, with a sucrose finish varnishing over a sense of DNA. There is decent weight, but it needs more personality.
