2022 Raveneau Montee de Tonnerre Premier Cru Chablis
95 Points – Decanter Magazine
“A benchmark Montée de Tonnerre. The domaine has 3.1ha in total, made up of a blend of 10 different plots within Chapelot and Pied d'Aloup, vines aged from 10-60 years. Distinct notes of crisp green apple, cool on the nose and palate with great freshness. Impressive stony, mineral characters support the concentration. A profound rendition in which elegance meets power. For long-term ageing. (Drink between 2025-2032).” – Andy Howard (Oct 2023)

“The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a very minerally bouquet, crushed limestone, sea cave and fleeting glimpses of citrus fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, very citrus lemon. A little sourness towards the finish lends energy and tension. Superb. (Drink between 2028-2050).” – Neal Martin (Aug 2024)
93-96 Points - Burghound
" A much more elegant nose freely offers up its combination of airy white flowers, wet stone, spice, citrus, oyster shell and subtle quinine wisps. As is usually the case, the mouthfeel of the vibrant middleweight flavors is positively sublime and this sophisticated texture carries over to the almost painful intense, mineral-driven and even longer finish. This is a stunner of MdT and a wine that should also repay extended keeping. If you can find it, buy it.” – Allen Meadows (Aug 2023)
