    Chablis 1. cru Montee de Tonnere 2017, Louis Michel

    100 % Chardonnay fra Chablis måske bedste 1. cru mark. Vinificeret uden tilsætning af gær og med så lidt indvirkning som muligt. Lagret minimum 12 måneder. Ingen fad. Den meget anerkendte vinskribent Stephen Tanzer kalder marken for "the insiders Chablis premier cru" fordi kvaliteten af vinene herfra næsten er Grand Cru kvalitet, mens prisen ligger et stykke under Grand Cru niveau. Jordbunden er speciel ved at den består af kimmeridge kalk - hvad franskmændende kalder arglo-calcaire, en blanding af kalksten og ler med et højt indhold af mikroskopiske fossiler. Kombinationen af det marginale klima og den kalkholdige jordbund giver generelt vine med et ret højt syreniveau. Det er vine, der kan gemmes og som bliver mere interessante med tiden.

    Vinen har en flot duft af citron, grønne æbler og hvide blomster. Smagen er utrolig præcis med høj syre balanceret af vinens intense mineralitet. Kompleks og med lang eftersmag.

    Chablis 1. cru bør tidligst drikkes 4-5 år fra høståret. Udvikler en udpræget mineralitet, der passer godt til smagen af særligt østers og mager fisk. Vinen kan dog sagtens klare selv ret kraftige retter med fisk, skaldyr og fjerkræ.

    The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is gorgeous. Sweet, perfumed and light on its feet, the 2017 possesses striking aromatic intensity and nuance. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint, white pepper and chamomile add layers of nuance to a super-refined Chablis that conveys energy and finesse - the two key signatures of this great premier cru site. - Antonio Galloni

    90+ p. Wine Advocate (årgang 2017)

    The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is showing well from bottle, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reserved nose of lemon oil and oyster shell, with only hints of the apple and tangerine it displayed from tank, and which I suspect will define the wine at maturity. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly glossy and incisive, with a classical profile despite the unprecedentedly small crop and a mouthwateringly saline finish. While it isn't quite as electric as the best vintages from this site, the wine is impressive and reveals plenty of upside. - William Kelley

    95 p. Decanter (årgang 2016)

    This is a wine of power, energy and breadth, made from 3ha of vines in this fine right bank site just south of the grands crus. Like Michel’s village Chablis it’s still an infant, but you can sense its density and power quietly building like water behind a dam. Elemental, brooding notes reminiscent of plant sap and ground stone lurk in that resonant, aromatic inarticulacy, yet its mute force succeeds in seeming concentrated, close-grained and sheer in the mouth.

    92 p. Wine Advocate (årgang 2016)

    The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre offers up aromas of lemon oil, lime zest and honeycomb, framed by a subtle touch of reduction. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and glossy, with more cut and tension than the Vaulorent, without quite matching the liveliness and energy of the Séchet. - Williiam Kelley

    94 p. View from the Cellar (2014)

    Guillaume’s 2014 Montée de Tonnerre is a brilliant example of this vineyard in a top flight vintage. The stellar nose delivers a youthfully complex mélange of green apple, pink grapefruit, very complex minerality, white flowers, incipient notes of beeswax and a nice touch of flintiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a fine sense of reserve, excellent focus and grip and superb mineral drive on the very long and impeccably well-balanced finish. - John Gilman

    90-92 p. Vinous (2014)

    Subtle, pure, scented nose combines stone fruits, crushed rock, spices and a touch of flinty minerality. Big and rich in the mouth but still a bit youthfully compact, conveying a dusty impression of extract from its strong underlying minerality. Finishes tactile and long. - Stephen Tanzer

    94 p. Decanter (2014)

    Precise, with balanced, lingering lime acidity, minerality and a pronounced fragrance of flowe blossom. Pure, long and very stylish notes of shellfish. Has great capacity for further ageing. - Andy Howard MW
