2022 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, William Fèvre

2022 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 one of the most backward in the cellar when tasting at this early stage, but the density and precision it already shows promises a very exciting future. You are in no doubt of the greatness of this wine when tasting.

Tasting notes

From multiple plots: east facing kimmeridgian marl in Pied d’Aloue (0.50ha), one hectare in Chapelot, (more soil here, fatter wine), then the rest in Bréchain, where vines dating back to 1936, give tension. What a beautiful bouquet. This has the sensual aspect of a delightful sunny summer, yet with an entrancing freshness behind. This is quintessential right bank, yet with balance
