RATINGS

94Burghound.com

The well-concentrated mid-palate is quite round and supple though the focus is maintained as there is an underlying firm spine of acidity on the superbly intense and strikingly persistent finish.

92-95Stephen Tanzer

Refined aromas of orange, acacia flower and spices. Then penetrating, quite dry and backward in the mouth, with great finesse to its flavors of citrus peel, licorice, spices and minerals.

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.
