Note: from a .45 ha holding in both Montée de Tonnerre proper and Chapelot. A more elegant and more floral-infused nose speaks of mineral reduction, iodine, quinine and an array of citrus nuances. Once again, the mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is super-sleek with excellent delineation that carries over to the almost painfully intense, chiseled, stony and strikingly long finish. This is pretty much textbook MdT so if you can find it, buy it.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*

Another pale colour. The bouquet indicates just a little more ripeness. This is just exactly what one hopes for from this vineyard. A little more succulence, a little more flesh, but still the classical marine backbone. Drives on at the finish. Excellent. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Jun 2025.

The 2024 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru comes from parcels at the top and center of the incline, using vines between 50 and 60 years old. This matured 80% in tank and 20% in 500-liter barrels. It has a sea spray- and nectarine-tinged bouquet that blossoms in the glass. The palate is well defined with a silver bead of acidity. This has a little more depth than the Mont de Milieu. It's very poised and energetic with a lingering, saline finish. This is superb. Again.(NM)
