Billaud-Simon Montée de Tonnerre 2014 is a benchmark Chablis that reflects the crystalline purity of what many consider the finest Premier Cru vineyard in the region. The 2014 vintage was exceptional for its high acidity and saline precision which allowed this specific parcel to showcase its intense limestone character without the interference of heavy oak. On the palate the wine is lean and vertical offering a direct line of lemon curd and flinty smoke that has only become more integrated after a decade in bottle.

Vinous
Hints of yellow fruits on the nose, with complicating notes of white pepper and crushed oyster shell; smells austere. A bit sweeter on entry than the Mont de Milieu but even more backward and stony today in spite of a roundness of texture. In a more refined style, with a hint of orange oil giving this bone-dry premier cru a sexy suggestion of sweetness. Finishes with penetrating minerality.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2016
