"The 2009 Montée de Tonnerre from Domaine William Fèvre is excellent and really shows off the beautiful synthesis of perfectly ripe, pure fruit, striking minerality and snappy acids that the best wines of Chablis possess in this vintage. The nose is deep, pure and beautiful, as it offers up scents of lime zest, green apple, grapefruit, very complex minerality, a touch of smokiness, straw and a bit of green Chablisienne fruit in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and beautifully balanced, with a lovely core of fruit, superb focus and excellent cut and grip on the long and poised finish. Just a classic example of young Montée de Tonnerre."

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.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
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.
