Very pure and crystalline on both nose and palate. Real drive and energy, just the vaguest hint of wood which adds more to texture than flavour. A very fine example. Billaud-Simon has plots within the three sectors of Montée de Tonnerre, with the oldest plots in the Pied d'Aloup climat which reach 87 years old. Olivier Bailly normally only uses tank for this climat but this year has 6% in barrel. (Drink between 2025-2031). 94 Points
An even lemon yellow. The concentrated warmth of Montée de Tonnerre is showing here in a very attractive way, a little more compelling than Mont de Milieu. Less flamboyant up front then the 2023 but if anything offering greater intensity behind with really well harnessed marine minerals. Beautiful persistence. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted Jul 2024. 5 Star Wine. 94 Points
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
An attractive mix of peach, apple, lemon, oyster shell and fresh herb flavors are the hallmarks of this expressive and complex Chablis. Intense from beginning to end, with a kaleidoscopic finish. Drink now through 2033. 94 Points
