Tension drives this 2016 Domaine François Raveneau Chablis Montée de Tonnerre Premier Cru, showing vivid green apple and citrus layered with ripe stone fruit over a core of pure, chiselled minerality. The palate is concentrated and muscular for Montée de Tonnerre, packed with dry extract yet kept precisely in line by firm acidity, finishing long, stony and mouthwatering. A powerful, structured vintage that will richly reward patience.

Domaine François Raveneau’s Chablis Montée de Tonnerre Premier Cru is one of Chablis’ benchmark terroir-driven Chardonnays, a powerful yet finely etched wine that often rivals grand cru level in intensity and complexity. Sourced from Raveneau’s substantial holdings on this premier cru slope, it is typically marked by pronounced chalky, oyster-shell minerality, citrus and floral notes, and a tightly coiled structure that rewards long-term cellaring.
