Burghound: 91-94 Points

An exuberantly floral-suffused nose displays additional aromas of tidal pool citrus zest and plenty of iodine character. The racy and notably finer if less powerful and generous middle weight flavors flash evident minerality on the youthfully austere bitter lemon-inflected finish that goes on and on. Excellent potential here. (Drink starting 2031). By Allen Meadows 10/24

Decanter: 93 Points

This lively fresh expression of Montée de Tonnerre features aromas of gooseberry and cream with a suggestion of oyster shell; a salty mineral tang arrives at the end on the palate. The texture is silky and very fine. The grapes are from several parcels totaling 2.15ha in the lieux-dits of Pied d?Aloup and Côte de Bréchain. In 2023 they were gently pressed and fermented exclusively in tank to preserve the freshness of the fruit. (Drink between 2024 - 2045). By Charles Curtis MW 05/24

Jancis Robinson: 16.5+ Points

Cask sample. Edgy nose. Lots of fruit ? and just a bit too opulent for a young Chablis premier cru? (JR) (Drink between 2025 - 2035). By Jancis Robinson MW 11/24
