RATINGS

93+ The Wine Advocate

...excellent, unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus zest, white flowers, wet stones, crushed chalk and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated...with a racy spine of acidity and chalky grip. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish...

93Decanter Magazine (points)

Elegant yet relatively forward, this shows a great combination of purity, depth and classic terroir stony notes.

92Vinous / IWC

...has a clean and precise nose...palate is balanced with a chewy entry, a bit of solids here, grippy...

91-94Burghound.com

Soft oak frames the elegant, airy and quite pretty aromas of white flowers, various citrus and oyster shell wisps. There is excellent intensity to the overtly mineral-driven middle weight flavors that flash very good cut on the sneaky long, lemony, bone-dry and firm finale.

91.4CellarTracker

17+ Jancis Robinson

Mostly cedary citrus fruit. On the palate, deep, delicately seasoned with spice, fine tension and length. Quite powerful but no lack of freshness. Very persistent with a long future.

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.
