2010 Domaine Francois Raveneau Montee de Tonnerre Chablis Premier Cru Magnum (1500ml)

Other Reviews....
Ths is pretty much spot on with my last review in 2012 save for the fact that it's evolving a bit more slowly and I have extended the suggested initial drinking window accordingly. That review is: Almost invisible wood frames the pretty and impressively complex nose of dried flower, citrus zest, mineral reduction and tidal pool aromas. The well-concentrated mid-palate is quite round and supple though the focus is maintained as there is an underlying firm spine of acidity on the superbly intense and strikingly persistent finish. As it often is when young, this is really quite serious and it will require a few years to unwind and reveal all of its potential. I have tasted this several times in the past year with consistent notes that range between 93 and 94 points.

The 2010 Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre makes an entrance of which the late Lord Flashheart himself would have been proud: a livewire bouquet with vibrant citrus peel, orange zest, limestone and apple-blossom, and an undercurrent of wax resin scents that look set to become more accentuated by bottle age. The palate is extremely well-balanced with superb precision. There is a strong saline element here, great concentration toward the finish, but not quite the persistency of the 2012. Excellent. Drink now-2028.

Readers will have to be patient with the 2010 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre. Some of the other 2010s are showing much more today, but the Montée de Tonnerre is all understatement and class. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's textural finesse and exceptional overall harmony. Everything is simply in the right place in this majestic, compelling Chablis. A gentle hint of spice frames the finish.
