2019 Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru “Montée de Tonnerre” in Magnum

Description

90-93 Alan Meadows for Burghound
“An airy, expressive and beautifully layered nose speaks of smoky citrus, white flowers, iodine and shellfish. The round, seductive and vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess a succulent yet sophisticated mid-palate texture while delivering fine length on the clean, moderately dry and sneaky long finish. This too will need to add depth over time, but it has the underlying material with which to do so if allowed the chance.” *Outstanding* (10/2020)

92-94 Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy
“From the Chapelots sector. Pale colour, but a peachy sunshine nose. There is some almost aggressive limestone scratching the enamel on my teeth. Amazing tension, yet the fruit is still ripe. Very small crop here, which may explain the enormous concentration. Retasted after the grands crus I can see the harmony better. I may be underestimating this.” (07/2020)

92 William Kelly for Wine Advocate
“The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre opens in the glass with notes of pear, green apple, wet stones, iodine and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it’s taut and concentrated, with bright acids and a long, saline finish.” (8/2021)
