"Bernard opened a 2001 Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre because it was a botrytized year like the 2013. It has a strong petrol character on the nose and I agree with Isabelle Raveneau that there is an Alsace Riesling-inspired personality here. The palate is well-balanced and fresh with wonderful acidity, slightly viscous with a Saar-like intensity on the finish and a hint of wild mushroom on the aftertaste. God invented Chardonnay for wines like this. It is drinking perfectly . . ."

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.
