The 2016 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru encapsulates everything you want in a Chablis, though the facet that I really admire is its uncompromising nature. The nose evokes images of a pond shaded by trees, not so much marine, something more…freshwater. The palate is powerful with impressive depth, displaying real intensity and drive through the weighty Conference pear and lanolin finish. This vineyard is one of the domaine’s strongest. I absolutely adored the 2016.

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.

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
