Notes:

(from a 2.5 ha parcel of 35+ year old vines - two thirds of the blend is from Chapelot and the remainder is from Pied d'Aloup and Montée de Tonnerre proper; the Pied d'Aloup vines were planted in 1935). A spicy nose grudgingly liberates notes of citrus, floral, wet stone, oyster shell and iodine. There is a fine blend of power and finesse with outstanding punch, complexity and balance on the beautifully lingering and markedly dry finish. A classic Montée de Tonnerre of refinement and grace.
