The 2023 Montée de Tonnerre from Domaine Servin is a simply beautiful young bottle of Chablis! As I have mentioned before, these vines range from thirty-five to more than fifty-five years of age and see no oak during their élevage. The bouquet of the wine is deep, precise and vibrant, wafting from the glass in a blend of fresh lime, pear, wet stone minerality, dried flowers, citrus peel and a touch of anise in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, zesty and full-bodied, with an excellent core of fruit, a great spine of acidity, superb mineral drive and cut and a long, complex and impeccably balanced finish. This is an outstanding example of this great premier cru terroir and a stunning value!

An elegant and airy nose freely reveals its aromas of lemon-lime, tidal pool and spice-inflected pear and apple scents. The super-sleek, intense and equally attractively textured flavors culminate in a bone-dry, youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. This could use more depth but the potential is clearly present. I would add that this refined effort is quite classy. *Outstanding*

The 2023 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is sourced from a vineyard that is gradually producing lower yields. It is matured entirely in tank. It has a fragrant bouquet with light apricot and peach skin aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and a touch of reduction. Peach and touches of pineapple emerge toward the finish. Fine.
