🏰 The 2021 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is a dense and structured wine, celebrated for its 【crystalline purity and superb aging potential】. The vintage offers a beautiful maturity of fruit. It displays a pale gold color with golden reflections, and an expressive nose revealing notes of candied apricots, grilled hazelnut, brioche, and caramel. The palate is dense, rich, and full, with a saline and acidulous finish and beautiful aromatic persistence. Some expressions also show green apples, slight peach, a bit of gunpowder, citrus, seashore, and oyster shell, with a sleek and sophisticated texture. 🍴 This Chablis 1er Cru is a versatile partner, excellent with carpaccio of scallops with citrus fruits, risotto with prawns and chorizo, or a cheese platter. It also shines with grilled langoustines, fish in sauce, white meats, oysters, and Japanese cuisine like sushi and sashimi. Richer pairings include pan-seared scallops with beurre blanc, roasted chicken with herbs, or poultry with cream sauces. 🥂 This wine has good aging potential, capable of repaying a decade or more of keeping, with a maturity window extending from 2024 to 2034.
