Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

Chardonnay from Chablis, as shaped by the northernmost part of Burgundy: The Montée de Tonnerre is considered one of the most famous Premier Cru sites of the appellation. It combines ripe fruit with clear mineral freshness.

Domaine Louis Michel & Fils cultivates its vines in Chablis, where Chardonnay on limestone soils produces cool, taut wines. This Premier Cru is aged in steel tanks. This keeps the fruit clear and lets the origin speak for itself without oak aromas.

In the glass, it appears juicy, with ripe fruit and a mineral core. The acidity gives the wine tension and drive on the palate. In the finale, a fine trace of cinnamon is added, which makes the finish linger in a spicy way.

Serve it at 10–12 °C. It pairs with oysters, steamed fish, or pan-seared scallops, but also with aged Comté or fresh goat cheese.
