Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
Less wood in elevage - only 20% - before it was all wood. It’s back to all wood in 2019 but larger-format, older barrels.
Here is a nice, almost floral, freshness but still quite a compact nose. A volume similar to the Vaucoupins, more structural, less textural. A suggestion of reduction in the minerality. More a finish with successive waves of flavour. Excellent.
James Suckling Tasting Report
A very attractive nose with aromas of wet chalk and lemons, as well as spiced pastry. The palate has a very attractive depth of lemoncream flavor and a super smooth resolve. Refined, powerful and attractive Chablis here. Drink over the next six years.
Vinous Media - Neal MArtin
The 2018 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a delineated bouquet of freshly squeezed lime, chalk and smoky aromas, this cuvée really exhibiting the terroir of the vineyard. The palate is well balanced with a steely opening, proceeding toward a very focused, citrus-fresh middle. Good tension here, and a lovely white pepper note that hangs around on the aftertaste. Superb.
