Tasting Notes

Vinous 95+

Bright pale yellow-green. Wonderfully subtle, vibrant nose melds white peach, lime, mint, pungent minerals and toasted bread, plus a suggestion of more candied peach. Taut, precise and impossibly juicy, with its pristine white peach, lemon zest, mint and salty mineral flavors boasting outstanding clarity and cut. Totally different in texture from the more glyceral 2015. Nearly perfect Montée de Tonnerre from a full yield of 55 hectoliters per hectare, and extremely long and minerally on the aftertaste without being at all angular. This should go on for decades in a cold cellar. (12.78% alcohol; 3.17 pH; 4.26 g/l acidity) [Stephen Tanzer, 13/08/2019]

Robert Parker 95

The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre confirms its status as one of Raveneau’s best renditions of this site over the last two decades, unfurling in the glass with a textbook bouquet of lemon oil, crisp green orchard fruit, oyster shell and anise, framed by light reduction that dissipates in the glass. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, elegantly glossy and seamlessly layered, with excellent concentration and tension at the core, concluding with a long, precise and penetrating finish. This wine is evolving at a glacial pace and is still far from reach its peak, but its quality is impossible to miss. [03/03/2019]
