Montee de Tonnerre is a Premier Cru climat on the eastern side of the Serein river in Chablis. The vineyard's southwesterly aspect and high-quality Kimmeridgian soils have led to its classification as a Premier Cru, and it shares many geological similarities to the Chablis Grand Cru hill, which lies just a little way to the north. The Chardonnay-based wines made in Montee de Tonnerre tend to be minerally and intense, with nutty, honeyed characters emerging with age.

Light and clear. Lime and chalk and steel. Salinity but quite ripe for Raveneau. Lovely intensity, a hint of grapefruit and good balance.

Will be great in 15 years. Solid wine, but had the misfortune of going head to head with ‘13 Vincent Dauvissat ‘Clos’.
