Very creamy on the nose, marked by the lees and gentle oak. Fresh citrus and almost something floral, like blossom, as well as stony/mineral character. Rich, deep and lively. Generous with a good acid backbone, even if it is a little softer than the Vaillons. (JH)

Still cloudy having just been racked, and the wood shows a little. Powerful on the palate, the spices are hard at work, massive concentration, the sunshine of Chapelots to the fore. Rich yellow fruit with, some white stone fruit notes beneath, juicy, but especially spicy. A powerful bottle not to be drunk young.

The 2019 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a composed, harmonious bouquet of citrus peel and Granny Smith apples; a subtle flinty note develops with aeration. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry, with orange zest and light peachy notes, but maintains a satisfying level of tension through to the precise finish. Excellent.
