Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2021 dry white wine

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (Sept. 2023): Favorite and 95/100. With beautiful olfactory elegance, Montée de Tonnerre 2021 exudes oyster shell aromas, complemented by very pure fruit. An archetype of great, refined Chablis, it is rooted in its soil with crystalline fruit and fine bitterness.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (William Kelley, Sept. 2023): 93/100. Aromas of citrus zest, oyster shell, clear honey, white flowers, and green apple introduce the 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine built around tangy acids and chalky dry extract. This taut, structured wine will delight Chablis purists. Drink date 2025-2045.
