The 2021 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru retains its serious and backward nose, very saline and still with that faint tang of kelp/Japanese nori. The palate is beautifully balanced with a keen thread of acidity, notes of orange rind and a more malic finish than I recall, yet with the same wondrous elegance and poise. This will age wonderfully in bottle and require time for the aromatics to awaken. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2023)

The 2021 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru was bottled the previous May. It is still obdurate and backward on the nose with touches of yellow fruit and a hint of white peach. The palate is taut and fresh, very saline, but perhaps it doesn't quite deliver the knockout finish I expected from barrel, hence my slightly lower score. Still a serious Chablis, though.

Between 90-91 here.

For village level, this is quintessential Chablis. No reductive profile aromatically, simply lemon, honeysuckle, sea spray. While racy, this has good weight on the palate. Underripe peach, almond, and mineral/limestone-like tart profile at the finish. Good acidity. Followed over two days and stayed consistent. — 3 months ago
