The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre has an attractive bouquet with light tropical notes and touches of orange blossom and apricot that evolve in the glass to reveal a subtle beeswax and jasmine scent. The palate is beautifully balanced, precise and focused with a gentle build toward the saline finish. This feels like a very harmonious Montée de Tonnerre that should spread its wings with two or three years in bottle.
