The domaine’s approximately one-hectare holding lies within the Chapelot sector, close to the Grand Cru hillside and separated from Les Blanchots by a narrow ravine. The vineyard includes mature vines around 50 years of age rooted in shallow Kimmeridgian limestone and marl soils with blue-clay veins. Its sheltered exposure and mineral-rich terroir give the wine an impressive combination of ripeness, structure and freshness. The 2024 displays the breadth associated with Montée de Tonnerre while retaining a firm, chalk-driven core and distinctly saline character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, while élevage incorporates tank, oak barrels and larger demi-muids over an extended period. The wine opens with citrus, orchard fruit and beeswax before revealing oyster-shell minerality, almond and subtle floral and peppery notes. Its palate is ample and vinous, yet energetic acidity and chalky structure prevent the ripe fruit from becoming heavy. Saline bitters add definition and length, with citrus and green-apple freshness running through the centre. The resulting wine combines generosity with precision and has the structure to develop considerable complexity with bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Complex, ripe and mineral\u003cbr\u003eBeeswax, lemon oil, pear and Granny Smith apple with oyster shell, citrus peel, subtle almond and delicate floral nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Ample, concentrated and energetic\u003cbr\u003eRipe orchard and citrus fruit carried by vibrant acidity, a taut chalky core and finely textured mineral structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, saline and precise\u003cbr\u003ePersistent citrus, green apple, mineral bitters and oyster-shell salinity build into a focused, mouth-watering conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2024 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a success, opening with notes of beeswax, lemon oil and pear mingled with Granny Smith apple and oyster shell. Medium- to full-bodied and exhibiting considerable ripeness for the vintage, it is built around a taut, chalky core and offers slightly more depth and amplitude than Moreau’s other premier crus this year.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate, 91–93 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Delightful, with a creamy, rich texture and notes of ripe apricot and quince, edged with flinty mineral notes; the grapes are from a plot right next to Raveneau. If this lacks some of the power of traditional Montée de Tonnerre, it is guaranteed to please those looking for a wine more focused on elegance than power. This will open up in three to five years and improve for at least a decade after that.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Charles Curtis MW, Decanter, 94 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Domaine Moreau-Naudet\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Chablis\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Premier Cru\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moreau-Naudet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44508176908375,"sku":"MOR-NAUD-TONN-24","price":189.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/71e0f304-e6ad-4fbc-9737-3fe1fbd5c0ed.webp?v=1792489081","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-moreau-naudet-chablis-1er-cru-montee-de-tonnerre-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
