Reviewed May 2017Very refined and elegant-a great example of Kimmeridigian terroir. Refined and aristocratic. Keep this for a decade if you can. Hints of lime, orange zest and shellfish with the wood very restrained and a mineral finish. Exudes class. (AH)

Wine Enthusiast
Situated next to the Grand Cru vineyards, this Premier Cru has produced a rich, concentrated and beautifully dense wine. Its rich, creamy texture is enhanced by bright acidity and underlying power. Touches wood aging show through in its spiciness. Drink from 2019.

There is enough wood to notice framing the cool aromas that combine notes of citrus, white flowers and mineral reduction. Here too there is a refined mouth feel to the delicious and attractively textured flavors that are at once generous yet reasonably precise, all wrapped in a mildly austere if persistent finish that isn't quite as complex as that of the Vaulorent plus the wood needs to more completely integrate.

Wine Advocate
The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre has a stern and stony bouquet, very Chablis in style, intense and a bit mean maybe. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, hints of apricot and fresh white peach; there is great tension here that lends to the focus and penetration. With the salinity kicking in on the finish, this forms a great little Montée de Tonnerre that should age nicely over 8-10 years.
