2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, William Fèvre

2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, William Fèvre

Three parcels are blended here, creating a complex and crystalline wine. It has the honour of hosting the domaine’s oldest vines, which were planted in 1936. These add beautiful freshness along with density of fruit. It is restrained, taut, and so long. You are in no doubt of the greatness of this wine when tasting.

Tasting notes

A cool, pure and airy nose also reflects notes of mineral reduction and citrus zest along with more prominent floral and iodine nuances. The sleek, refined and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors possess a bracing salinity on the sneaky long and well-balanced finale. Like several wines in the range, this needs to develop better depth but it is very stylish and should age effortlessly so more complexity should eventually manifest itself.
