94+ JG. "The 2010 Montée de Tonnerre from Domaine William Fèvre had only been bottled two week before my visit, but still was showing very well indeed. The brilliantly complex nose soars from the glass in a blaze of grapefruit, lemon, apple, a touch of anise, chalky minerality and spring flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a sappy core of fruit, stunning focus and transparency, snappy acids and exceptional length and grip on the rapier-like finish. Given that this was only bottled two weeks ago, I am probably underestimating its absolute quality by a small margin!" John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2011, Issue #36 |
