2019 Louis Michel Chablis Montee de Tonnerre

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 91   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 92+
