The 2015 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre Raveneau is a white Burgundy wine from the Premier Cru vineyard of Montée de Tonnerre, presented in magnum format. This bottling is renowned for being one of the most powerful and structured of Raveneau’s Premier Crus, often displaying Grand Cru weight. This magnum shows a broad, deep texture, concentrating the classic notes of chalk, iodine and lemon oil, framed by a powerful, saline-driven structure that ensures exceptional longevity.

Vinous
Very pale yellow with a faint green tinge. Extremely unevolved scents of minerals, mint and dusty stone, plus a whiff of pineapple in the background. A dense, sappy premier cru with noteworthy solidity and surprising acidity, but not particularly complex, at least in the early going. Has a sweetness to it, as well as strong underlying minerality, but will need time to express itself and expand in the bottle. My sample seemed to go back into a shell in the glass. Isabelle Raveneau noted that these vines were picked just a few days after a destructive hailstorm (and 100 millimeters of rain) on the night of August 31 but she added that her family had been planning to harvest the Montée de Tonnerre just a few days later than that--in contrast to some growers who were forced to bring in hail-affected grapes a solid week earlier than they had previously anticipated. This wine, made from a low yield of 35 hectoliters per hectare, may yet improve with aging but is tricky to assess today.
