Chablis 1er cru Montée de Tonnerre, Samuel Billaud 2024 - Magnum En Primeur - Case of 3 Magnums
With 20% fermented in barrel and the remaining 80% in stainless steel, the Tonnerre gives up alluring notes of stone fruit, a little white peach and a hint of aniseed. On the palate it possesses delicious creamy mouthfeel, with prominent leesy weight and texture but bright, zingy acidity. A superbly balanced wine, whilst delicious now, will need further cellar time to really show its class. 5-15 years.
"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." 94/100 (Jamie Goode).
