Critic reviews
"The 2024 Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru comes from parcels at the top and centre of the incline, using vines between 50 and 60 years old. This matured 80% in tank and 20% in 500 litre barrels. It has a sea spray- and nectarine-tinged bouquet that blossoms in the glass. The palate is well defined with a silver bead of acidity. This has a little more depth than the Mont de Milieu. It's very poised and energetic with a lingering, saline finish. This is superb. Again."
Neal Martin, June 2025, Vinous.com
"More herby citrus than the ripeness of the Mont de Milieux and yet still charmingly aromatic and gently creamy. Firm texture, with some grip on the finish, beautifully balanced, deep and long. Intense and elegant at the same time. "
Julia Harding, August 2025, JancisRobinson.com
"Another pale colour. The bouquet indicates just a little more ripeness. This is just exactly what one hopes for from this vineyard. A little more succulence, a little more flesh, but still the classical marine backbone. Drives on at the finish. Excellent."

"This has some exotic peach and pear character as well as crystalline citrus fruit, with a nice liquid mineral character. Fine, fresh and detailed with nice purity and harmony. It’s ripe but it stays really balanced."
