2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, William Fèvre

2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, William Fèvre

Three parcels are blended here, creating a complex and crystalline wine. Some of the vines were planted in 1936, and these add beautiful freshness along with density of fruit. It is restrained, taut, sea-salty fresh, and long. It is a highlight amongst a stellar set of wines. This is every inch a premier cru, if not even a little grand cru.

Tasting notes

Pale color. An admirably pure, airy and decidedly cool nose features notes of acacia, citrus zest and mineral reduction. The wonderfully refined, chalky and stony medium weight flavors possess really lovely underlying tension and fine detail while delivering excellent length where the only nit is a touch of warmth. This too will need to add depth, but the quality of the underlying material appears up to the task.
