2022 Chablis, Montee de Tonnerre, Vincent Dauvissat

Aromas of pear, Myer lemon, green apple, clam liquor and white flowers preface Dauvissat's 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine with a textural attack that segues into a bright, mineral mid-palate, concluding with a saline finish. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 9-7-2023

Here the airy and expressive nose is even more floral in character with its notes of acacia, rose petal and even a suggestion of gardenia on the aromas of ocean breeze, wet stone and shellfish. The more refined and highly energetic if less concentrated medium-bodied flavors tighten up noticeably on the focused, moderately austere and overtly stony finale. This is going to require at least a few years of patience and should repay up to a decade of keeping if you wish to see it at its probable peak. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 8-10-2023
