Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2023
“Didier calls this "more tonic", and it does have a refreshing, feel-good vibrancy. Detailed on the nose with forward scents of citrus zest, toasted almonds and sea shore, more of the same follows on the doubly intense palate. Crisply dry and already very complete, this is one not to miss in the line-up.” 94 points, Christy Canterbury MW, Tim Atkin Burgundy Report
Diam. Defaix’s Montée de Tonnerre comes from old vines in Chapelot, which forms 20 hectares of the vineyard on a similar southeast-facing aspect to the neighbouring Grands Crus. The vineyard’s iconic grower is, of course, Raveneau, although Moreau-Naudet, Billaud-Simon and others farm vines in this prestigious lieu-dit. A terrific release, full of mouthcoating, zingy fruit and stony energy.
