Beautiful Chablis, situated next to the Grand Crus. Wonderful texture and acidity.

Not a deep montée de tonnerre, but shows ample fruit, deep minerality, on a more approachable and friendly frame. Immense value given the realestate

Medium yellow. Meyer lemon, lemon curd, yellow delicious apple, underripe white peach, sea salt, yeasty, briny, stony minerality, and hints of cheese rind. Tart citrus and high tone minerality on the palate. Elevated acidity, 12.5% abv, medium+ finish. Importer’s notes: From the right side of the Serein River, situated right next to the Grand Cru Blanchot. A soft and elegant wine, the Montée de Tonnerre is situated in the same line as the Grand Crus. The notable white clay helps to develop intense fruit and floral aromas. The older vines add the depth and complexity in the mouth. Regarded by many as the best and most consistent Premier Cru in Chablis. Lime-clay soils with Kimmeridgian fossils. Fermentation and maturing in stainless steel tanks.

As much as I hate to agree with @Cason Love , this is really lovely Chablis. I need to try more from the Servin 2014 lineup.

Had the other night at @a10hydepark. Good acid, but more citrus & less flint than hoped.

2010. Harmonious, beautiful balance between lemon oil and mineral. Bring on the Petrale sole...

Completely shut down at first, we put it away and came back to it an hour later. Wow, that's good! Great mouthfeel and "tension", would benefit from anther few years, or decant now.

Definitely not at the level of the '12 or the '10 but it seems ready to go and had a lot to offer right now. Very good

'12 vintage - Great year for MdT. After a good few hours, the fruit and acidity and minerals came together. Has an outstanding future ahead of it.
