2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre | Vinous 90-92
The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru suffered some frost damage, and so was cropped at 42hl/ha; this cuvée is slightly higher in alcohol at 13.35%. It has quite an intense, energetic, menthol-tinged bouquet with plenty of citrus fruit. The palate is well-balanced and defined with a lightly spiced entry. There’s a little more salinity than the Mont de Milieu, with a nice bitter twist on the finish. A level-up from the 2021.

2022 Chablis “Montée de Tonnerre”: (91-93)
(from a huge 2.74 ha parcel in Montée de Tonnerre proper and Pied d’Aloup). Here too there is enough wood influence present to mention on the pure and elegant nose of spicy floral, apple and ocean spray. I very much like the texture of the vibrant and stylish middleweight flavors that flash ample minerality on the youthfully austere and long finish where a touch of bitter lemon zest slowly emerges. Lovely. (91-93)/2030+

A bit more splashy in character, with bright tangerine, tropical and citrus fruit. Balanced acidity, light minerality, and nice length to the finish. The Montee de Tonnerre vineyard is right next to the Grand Cru Blanchot vineyard, and is generally considered the best of the Premier Crus. Francois’ personal vines are located in the heart of the oldest section of this vineyard.
