From one of the parcels that suffered the most in this challenging vintage, the 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre offers up notes of citrus zest, pear, lemongrass and anise. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rounded and very glossy, with good concentration and stony depth but an atypically gourmand, textural profile. It's a lovely wine, but it isn't one of the great classics from this superb vineyard.
