James Suckling
Reviewed May 2026There is great purity to this, with implicit minerality, limey fruit and seashells. Dense, compact minerality and limey flavors with pretty dense character. Vertical, really long and crystalline. 56 years old vines from the two climats: Chapelot and Montée de Tonnerre. Drink or hold.

Burghound
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!*

Jasper Morris
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.

Decanter
Combines aromas of ripe mirabelle plum, apricot and a chalky minerality with a rich, dense texture that lacks any sensation of heaviness. The grapes are blended from the lieux-dits Chapelot and Montée de Tonnerre, and the region was less affected by the weather – as with much of the rest of the right bank below the grand cru slope – delivering a wine capable of ageing for decades. Fermentation was done in a combination of cask and tank.(CC)
