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)

Can’t quite figure this one out, like it’s closed. Quite a deep bronze colour. The fruit is dense and maybe just needs more years to unfurl. Picking up some quince and apricot on the palate, but difficult to decipher. Would be interestingly try in another 3-5 years.
