"The 2006 FÚvre Montée de Tonnerre is a very tensile and backward wine, that reluctantly offers up a bouquet of lime, grapefruit, flinty soil tones, hints of licorice, hay, flowers and other mineral tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, deep and intensely flavored, with bracing acidity, and great minerality on the long finish. The overall profile of the wine is not as cool and classic as the Les Lys, as the ripeness of the vintage can be sensed here a bit. But this is still a very crisp premier cru that will demand a bit of bottle age before it can be broached, despite the ripeness of the vintage."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
