A very fine example of Montée de Tonnerre. Ripeness of fruit combined with vibrant acidity, it’s a fine balance between the power and minerality of Montée de Tonnerre and the ripeness of this particular site. A high-quality introduction to the benefits of biodynamic winemaking.
Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.

The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre ler Cru has a backward nose that demands time to open, revealing subtle scents of beeswax and granite with time. The palate has a very harmonious entry with notes of Clementine and peach. Vibrant and poised with a persistent finish. One of my picks from the domaine this years.
Winery Notes
The Montée de Tonnerre is new to the Julien Brocard line up starting in the 2020 vintage. Julien began converting this site to biodynamic agriculture in 2017 and 2020 is the first year that it was certified biodynamic by Demeter. Montée de Tonnerre is to the right of the valley of the grand crus and Julien considers it the most complete 1er cru, a wine with a perfect convergence of minerality, floral notes, and richness. Fermented and aged in neutrual foudres.
