Tasting notes
The 2021 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a bit of reduction on the nose but seems to lack some vigour compared to its peers. Just a touch of lanolin comes through with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry with a bit more extract, gentle grip and decent volume and weight on the finish, which has a touch of Japanese mirin. I think this will come good, but it will require time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is one of the less reductive, more outgoing wines in the range, exhibiting expressive aromas of pear, peach and orange zest mingled with hints of white flowers and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with a delicately layered core of fruit and a saline finish, it's a strong effort.
