Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre NV

François Raveneau's Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre is something special. Made from 100% Chardonnay, it showcases Raveneau's mastery in Chablis, and you can really taste the mineral-rich soil of Burgundy's cool climate. It's just perfect with oysters, so go ahead and pour yourself a glass.

This wine shows up in Volume 3 when they're looking for a Chablis to pair with raw oysters. They mention it's fruity and weighty, and that's spot on. Just look at it—pale golden hues that shimmer in the glass and promise something delightful.

Take a whiff, and you'll catch fresh lemon and green apple aromas. It's really open and brings to mind a walk by the sea. When you sip it, there's a lovely roundness and a vibrant acidity that just sings. It's got a solid mineral backbone, making you naturally crave a bite of oyster.

The finish is moderately long, leaving you eager for another sip. Chill it to around 8-10°C, and it'll shine even more. A small glass will help you savor the aromas just right.
