Product Notes

Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a highly esteemed French wine exuding elegance and richness. This classic Chablis, grown from chalky soils of Burgundy, reveals aromatic layers of zesty citrus, ripe apple, and a hint of flint. On the palate, it embraces a pleasing minerality consistent with its terroir, complemented by a crisp acidity and a harmonious, lingering finish. The oak-influenced complexity and depth offer excellent ageing potential, making it a preferred choice for wine connoisseurs. This fine wine exemplifies the top-class sophistication of Droin's winemaking expertise.

Tasting Notes

Its aromatic profile, fine and complete, tends to minerality and white fruits. Also to be found are hints of white flowers, anise and menthol, brioche and sweet spices. On the palate, its lengthy vivacity is prolonged by its saline aspect. Never aggressive, it expresses itself through oyster shell as well as with notes of flint. After 5 to 7 years, its aromatic persistence is enhanced, thereby offering all its power, still balanced by straight-line minerality. It is after 15 years that it acquires incomparable complexity. It is the great lord of the Premier Crus. It will be perfect with grilled lobster.
