Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2032, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2020

The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru offers a super-intriguing mix of floral notes, citrus, almond, mint and white pepper. Lifted and precise with striking translucency, the Montée is really expressive today. Because of the lower yields in this vintage, 2017 was done entirely in oak. It is unquestionably a very fine wine, but it lacks that extra touch of purity that in top years can elevate wines from this site even more.

Montée de Tonnerre suffered this year, so the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre was produced from very low yields. The resulting wine is consequently unusually rich, fleshy and powerful, revealing aromas and flavors of Meyer lemon, green apple, white flowers and wet stones. Textural and gourmand, with ripe balancing acids, it's hard to know how it will evolve.
