RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

Racy and focused, with dense flavors of lemon, herb and mineral that carry through to the long finish. Still youthful, this is an ideal wine for oysters or light shellfish dishes.

..classic Chablis character with an almost pungent minerality to the still fresh blend of primary and secondary fruit laced with that telltale iodine character that can also be found on the rich, full and utterly delicious flavors..

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.
