Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Premier Cru, Montee de Tonnerre 2022

The 2022 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a strange, oily, almost nutty nose that manages to find more delineation as it opens in the glass. The palate is fresh on the entry with sour lemon and orange rind, slightly oily and waxy in texture, quite phenolic with good depth on the finish. This needs more time. Bottled under Diam 10. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre reveals aromas of orchard fruit, waxy citrus rind, white flowers and wet stones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate that's dense and deep. This is built for the cellar.
