Les Preuses Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2018

Bright lemon color with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and flinty floral notes, from a 1ha parcel next to La Moutonne that was planted in 1970. On the palate flavors of crisp apple, pear and ripe citrus with notes of white flowers and flinty spice. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity ending with citrus and noted mineral spice. Nice! Still young!

I haven’t had a lot of aged Chablis, but this is drinking remarkably well for being 13 years old. Austere; high acid but with some weight to it. Flint and lemon peel but I would wager this saw at least some oak as there is definitely a little butterscotch in the background both in the nose and palate. Drinks like a lighter more restrained Montrachet. — 9 days ago

Fully mature. Some light notes of sherry, limpid lime, oyster shells, lemon oil, slate. Complex, long and delicious. Very good. — a month ago

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

Not sure there are better 13 whites than Raveneau. Lafon also comes to mind. It’s an early drinking vintage (by Raveneau standards) while you wait for 12 and 14, and no Chapelot this year so it’s blended in here. A multi-hour decant has it showing superbly, wafting layers of créme fraîche, baking spice, crushed stones and a touch of botrytis influenced saffron. The palate shows immense power, concentration and depth of waxy yellow fruit chiseled with Chablisen minerality, brilliant tension and racy lemony acids. MDT always hits 🫰🏻 — 12 days ago

Not as deliberately oxidative, but still too oxidative to be Chablis. — 13 days ago

So easy to forget how good a simple class can be. I’ve tasted this so many times, but almost always in horizontal lineups together with its more prestigious siblings and instead I just opened a bottle and a weekday and really thoroughly enjoyed it. Lees, mouthfeel and acid balance. It delivers so much by showing off so little.  — a month ago

Muted at first (young, I know). But opened up after 30 minutes. I get a lemon driven nose and palate and mouth watering acidity. Very tight and seamless. Upside rating potential with more age.

Lunch at Selosse.

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

I read an article recently where the author felt that this 1er cru probably deserved to be a Grand Cru. Whilst this was very good I think it is right at Premier Cru. Initial notes were salinity amongst the apple, citrus flavours and a touch of beeswax. The following night tasted more “new World “. This was very enjoyable but needs to develop more complexity. I will leave my remaining bottle for a couple of years. — 23 days ago

"Thunder Mountain" tastes like Grand Cru in the right hands. The priciest of the 1er Crus but more affordable than Grand Cru stuff, it occupies the sweet spot as it relates to QPR.

@Bob McDonald , I can state that the Raveneau MdT Chablis I’ve had from the 1980s were certainly of Grand Cru quality!
