Raveneau is widely regarded as the finest producer in the Chablis region and this mature 1er Cru from the 2008 vintage is now in prime drinking condition. Montée de Tonnerre is one of the iconic vineyards of Chablis . Set back slightly from the region’s Grands Crus, its moderate west-exposed slopes are protected from the east winds. This, combined with its base of shallow Kimmeridgian soil, intersected with veins of blue clay – a strikingly similar soil composition to that of its neighbouring Grands Crus –  produces Chardonnay wines with the perfect combination of body, fruit and lively minerality. \"Bright yellow with a green tinge. Classic Montée de Tonnerre aromas of lemon ice, crushed rock, iodiney minerality and white flowers. floral, lemon ice, straight and classic. Tactile, juicy and utterly gripping–in fact still almost painful today. Powerful salty minerality and penetrating acidity currently dominate the wine’s lemon oil, grapefruit and floral flavours, with the wine showing a weightless impression. The dusty mineral-driven finish stains the palate and builds inexorably. (When I first tasted this wine from the barrel, I suggested that it might be the longest Chablis premier cru of the vintage.)\" Vinous, 2019","brand":"Domaine Francois Raveneau","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62423528538442,"sku":"HED0854","price":572.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED0854.jpg?v=1781911308","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/chablis-montee-de-tonnerre-raveneau-2008","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
