2017 Vincent Dauvissat, Chablis Premier Cru, Montee de Tonnerre

The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre is a little more exotic on the nose compared to the Vaillons with hints of peppermint and star anise enhancing the citrus aromas that gain depth and vigour with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, a tangible sense of nervous tension infusing this Chablis with a touch of lemon thyme and Japanese yuzu towards the long finish that fans out wonderfully. It represents everything you desire from a Premier Cru Chablis.

The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is a dense, dramatic wine with all of the textural dimension that is the signature of the Dauvissat wines. Graphite, crushed rocks, slate, candied lemon and lightly honeyed notes all grace this super-expressive Chablis. The 2017 is rich, powerful and deep, with a huge core of fruit and plenty of supporting structure.
