Tasting notes
The 2020 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has some issues with sulfur on the nose. An eggy note obscures the terroir expression. That seems to be addressed with some aeration. The palate has a slightly bitter entry. There's sharp acidity, and it's linear in style; however, the 2020 misses a personality and feels a bit hemmed in on the finish. This lacks grip but does develop a light spiciness. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is taut and concentrated, unwinding in the glass with aromas of freshly baked bread, clear honey, confit citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's a serious wine that will reward bottle age.
5 Star Wine. Pale lemon yellow. Power once again is evident from the outset. But strict enough and with admirable tension at the back, the marine minerals doing their job. A wealth of flavour here and with real grip. This keeps building in the aftertaste. Excellent! Drink from 2026-2034.<br /> <br />
