2010 Raveneau Chablis Montee de Tonnerre

Readers will have to be patient with the 2010 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre. Some of the other 2010s are showing much more today, but the Montée de Tonnerre is all understatement and class. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's textural finesse and exceptional overall harmony. Everything is simply in the right place in this majestic, compelling Chablis. A gentle hint of spice frames the finish. Vinous/Galloni - 95+

Almost invisible wood frames the pretty and impressively complex nose of dried flower, citrus zest, mineral reduction and tidal pool aromas. The well-concentrated mid-palate is quite round and supple though the focus is maintained as there is an underlying firm spine of acidity on the superbly intense and strikingly persistent finish. As it often is when young, this is really quite serious and it will require a few years to unwind and reveal all of its potential but make no mistake, this is going to be great in time. Burghound 94 Outstanding!
