2020 Domaine Billaud-Simon Montee de Tonnerre Chablis Premier Cru
Other Reviews....
This would be difficult to mistake for anything other than Chablis with its aromatic profile of oyster shell, iodine, citrus and acacia blossom, all trimmed in a delicate dollop of oak. The super-sleek, intense and stylish middle weight flavors are also quite classy and I very much like the balance. This is also notably firmer and very much built-to age. Excellent. Drink from 2030+.

So much lemony character and chalky and garden herb freshness it makes you feel glad to be alive! Spot-on balance of crispness and restrained creaminess on the medium-bodied palate. So straight and pure at the long, crystalline finish. Drink or hold.

Mostly made in tank with a couple of barrels. A fine pale lemon colour. The bouquet shows a finely honed stylishness, obviously with power behind but this is a restrained energy. The tension has been perfectly harnessed, lemon notes later on, and a wealth of fruit which returns after. Some very old vines in their Pied d’Aloue plot helps provide the density. The fruit just keeps going on!

Produced from three plots, one of which - Pied d'Aloup – is on average 84 years old. Intense nose, with a focused and pristine fruit character. Mineral with a touch of spice; an elegant wine with drive and precision. I suspect this will age very well and gain weight. No hurry to drink this. Drink 2023 - 2028.
