“Didier calls this "more tonic", and it does have a refreshing, feel-good vibrancy. Detailed on the nose with forward scents of citrus zest, toasted almonds and sea shore, more of the same follows on the doubly intense palate. Crisply dry and already very complete, this is one not to miss in the line-up.” 94 points, Christy Canterbury MW, Tim Atkin Burgundy Report
Diam. Defaix’s Montée de Tonnerre comes from old vines in Chapelot, which forms 20 hectares of the vineyard on a similar southeast-facing aspect to the neighbouring Grands Crus. The vineyard’s iconic grower is, of course, Raveneau, although Moreau-Naudet, Billaud-Simon and others farm vines in this prestigious lieu-dit. A terrific release, full of mouthcoating, zingy fruit and stony energy.

Wines of Chablis
Arguably the most uniquely tasting Chardonnay in the world, most people are blown away to discover this special type of Chardonnay for the first time. The cool climate region produces wines with more acidity and less fruit flavours, but a unique flinty note derived from the soils.
Although considered a part of the Burgundy wine region, Chablis is closer in distance to Champagne which it shares an exceedingly rare and unique soil with. Kimmeridgian soil is not found anywhere else in the world except in southern England, Champagne and Chablis. A 180-million-year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, this soil type produces wines full of minerality, salinity, intensity, and finesse.
In Chablis they use a similar ranking system to that of Burgundy. From Grand Crus at the top, to Premier Crus, to Chablis and Petit Chablis at the bottom.
