RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...gracious, elegant and wonderfully perfumed. Light on its feet and bright, the Montée de Tonnerre is laced with exotic flowers, mint and lemon peel, all of which come alive effortlessly in the glass.

92Wine Spectator

A touch of oak rounds out this incisive white, with notes of beeswax and vanilla accenting the apple, lemon and stone flavors. Lively acidity extends the finish.

90-93The Wine Advocate

Aromas of fresh peach, white flowers, apple and honeycomb...supple, satiny textured and medium to full-bodied wine with an ample core of fruit and succulent acids.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Chablis, Montee de Tonnerre

Montee de Tonnerre is a 15-acre Premier Cru parcel just east of the village of Chablis and just south of the Grand Crus. Montee de Tonnerre includes the important climats of Chapelot, Les Chapelots, Pied d’Aloup and Coted de Brechain. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “in blind tastings, this microparcel is often judged to be a Grand Cru. It is regrettable that its reputation is not better known…” The soil is a mixture of limestone, clay and fossilized oyster shells.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, Chablis Premier Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
