Kirjeldus

Louis Michel Montée de Tonnerre Premier Cru on veinimaja kõige suurem omandus, kokku 4.37 hektarit lõunapoolsetel nõlvakutel Serein’i jõe paremal kaldal, istutatud 1974. aastal. Kasvatatakse 100% Chardonnay viinamarju, aedade pinnas on väga unikaalne, koosnedes Kimmeridgian lubjakivist, mis on erakordselt rikas kivistunud merekarpide setete poolest. Vanandatud roostevaba terasest mahutites 12 – 16 kuud.

Montée de Tonnerre on elegantne, vürtsikas ja mineraalne, maitse püsiv ja selge, väärikas ja elegantne. Saavutab parima küpsusastme 5 aastaga, hea aastakäigu puhul potentsiaal umbes 15 aastat. Serveerida jahutatult umbes 12 – 14 kraadi juures. Ideaalne koos eelroogadega, kalaroogadega, koorikloomadega või valge lihaga kreemikas kastmes, suurepärane ka marineeritud kalaga, tuunikalaga, lõhega, suitsukana-salatiga või grillitud kalaga.

“The 2024 Montée de Tonnerre had also been bottled in November of 2025. Guillaume Michel noted that they had almost fifty percent of normal yields in this vineyard in 2024, which was excellent by the draconian standards of the vintage. The wine is brilliant, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of lemon, pear, wet stone minerality, dried flowers and a topnote of orange peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and racy, with a gorgeous core of fruit, beautiful mineral drive, laser-like focus and a very, very long, perfectly balanced and complex finish. Great juice. 2028-2060+.” John Gilman 94 points

“Starting with a whisper of reduction, as it did last year, this shows an intense array of savory flavors; white and green peppercorns, celery and quinine. The palate tacks on an earthy dimension. The bracing tension and clean, dry finish is smartly offset by a pillowy, mid-palate roundness. I want this in my cellar!” Tim Atkin 94 points

“From a huge 4.5 ha parcel located in Chapelot. A classic Chablis nose freely offers up its combination of citrus, iodine, mineral reduction, white flower and a background whiff of phenolic character. The notably denser middle weight flavors possess good volume and a succulent mouthfeel before terminating in a dry, youthfully austere and impressively persistent finale. This is really quite classy and one to consider buying. Outstanding!” Burghound 90-93 points

“The 2024 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is more tightly knit and simultaneously slightly less demonstrative than Vaillons, exhibiting aromas of lemon confit, Granny Smith apple, orange peel and white flowers. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant, with a tightly coiled profile and a long, chalky finish. It is one of Michel’s sites that suffered least from frost and hail in 2024.” Wine Advocate 90-92 points
