CHABLIS
PREMIER CRU
MONTÉE DE TONNERRE
Terroir:
An extension of the Grands Crus, this appellation on the right bank of the Serein benefits from a south-western exposure. This little climat is located along the ancient Roman road linking the towns of Auxerre and Tonnerre. Here, the road climbed the hill to reach the plateau in the direction of Tonnerre. This is a rare wine of exceptional quality, with great mineral purity and the ability to age for a long time. It’s the most complete of the Premiers Crus, because it has all the elements: minerality, floral notes, body, opulence and great richness.
