Louis Michel & Fils Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru 2019 (750ML)

93 JM / 92+ WA / 91 VM / 91 BH

The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre opens in the glass with notes of pear, green apple, wet stones, iodine and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's taut and concentrated, with bright acids and a long, saline finish. It's derived from holdings in Chapelot. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

The 2019 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is more backward on the nose than its peers, yet it is still delineated and focused. A light oyster shell note emerges with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, quite tensile and focused, with a touch of bitter lemon on the entry, if just missing a little nerve on the finish. Fine. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media

An airy, expressive and beautifully layered nose speaks of smoky citrus, white flowers, iodine and shellfish along with a hint of volatile acidity. The round, seductive and vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess a succulent yet sophisticated mid-palate texture while delivering fine length on the clean, moderately dry and sneaky long finish. This too will need to add depth over time, but it has the underlying material with which to do so if allowed the chance. - Burghound
