Other Reviews....
As is usually the case, this possesses the most refined nose of this group of 1ers with its blend of various floral nuances, citrus, stone and ocean breeze scents trimmed in just a hint of wood. There is really beautiful detail to the stony, sappy and sleekly muscled flavors that display a lovely sense of harmony and vibrancy. This is both finer and more complex than the Butteaux. A stunner.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2011 Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre has a very precise bouquet with touches of granite and smoke, very precise but less concentrated that the 2012. The palate is very reserved at first, taciturn and precise, with a fine line of acidity and a precise, but somehow stoic finish. This comparatively taciturn Montee de Tonnerre deserves another two or three years in bottle. Drink 2016-2026.

Neal Martin - Wine Advocate #214 (Aug 2014)

The 2011 Chablis Montee de Tonnerre is all about grace. A gentle hint of spice leads to dried pears, crushed flowers, red berries and licorice. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2011 is a marvel to behold. Suggestions of smoke, graphite and licorice add layers of nuance in a magical wine loaded with class and personality. Best of all, the 2011 is relatively approachable by Raveneau standards, which means reader won't have to wait long at all to experience the magic of one of the great sites in Chablis.
