A little more lemon in the colour, and more perfumed in bouquet. The 2024 Montée de Tonnerre has all the fruit you could want, even a little honeysuckle, with good natural acidity, a long and charming finish, with good grip. Fine persistence, a lovely example.” Drink: 2028 - 2033\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUTSTANDING \/ 91-93 POINTS - Allen Meadows - Burghound.com, Oct 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This is also wonderfully elegant and expressive with its ripe yet cool nose of seemingly every flower imaginable as there is even a hint of gardenia, along with a plenitude of classic Chablis elements. The rich, suave and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess good verve and evident minerality on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This is really very classy though it will definitely need to add depth to merit the upper end of my projected range.” Drink: 2031+\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDomaine William Fèvre is one of the benchmark estates of Chablis, with holdings concentrated across the appellation's Premier and Grand Cru climats on classic Kimmeridgian limestone and marl. Under winemaker Didier Séguier the domaine pursues purity and precision: fruit is hand-picked, strictly sorted and gently pressed, with a measured use of oak adding texture without masking the wines' mineral core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFèvre's Montée de Tonnerre is assembled from 2.24 hectares across three sectors: Pied d'Aloup for freshness, Chapelot for richness and Côte de Bréchain, where the oldest vines date to 1936, for concentration. Yields fell below 10 hl\/ha in 2024, giving a perfumed, complex wine with floral and fruity aromas and intense minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e2024 was a vintage that left a lasting impression. After a particularly mild February, March continued mild with very wet conditions. April brought two nights of frost and a first, minor episode of hail, before a very heavy hailstorm struck the Chablis vineyards on 1 May, severely affecting the left bank. May and June saw fluctuating temperatures that slowed flowering, while alternating rain and thunderstorms led to high mildew pressure. Hail struck again at the end of July, giving way to a drier and warmer August, and September began mildly, allowing the grapes to ripen. Harvest began on 20 September in good conditions, with a larger team of 220 pickers bringing everything in within three and a half days. The quality was there, but the succession of climatic hazards had a significant impact on volumes: the domaine's average yield after strict sorting was just 9 hl\/ha, and many Grand Cru plots yielded only five to six.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine William Fèvre","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":68059993636973,"sku":"NEGNWPR1D335","price":199.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/domaine-william-fevre-chablis-premier-cru-montee-de-tonnerre-domaine-2023-med.jpg?v=1789236526","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/domaine-william-fevre-chablis-premier-cru-montee-de-tonnerre-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
