RATINGS

93-94The Wine Advocate

Features ripe pineapple, lychee, grapefruit, and brown spices; piquant, pithy, yet deeply sweet nuttiness; an almost tactile sense of chalk dust; formidable sheer density; and a brothy richness...

93+ Stephen Tanzer

Cool aromas of crushed stone, citrus peel and white flowers. Dense, sweet and minerally... ...this broad, rich wine boasts terrific verve and finishes with palate-staining citrus and stone flavors.

93Burghound.com

...admirably pure aromas of white flower, pear and quinine that gives way to supple, sweet, mouth coating and impressively concentrated flavors that exude a marvelous intensity on the long, powerful and driving finish...

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.
